9 Month Birthday

 

Daughter L baked Grandson C a no sugar added Harry Potter themed cake to celebrate his 9 month birthday a few weeks ago.  The icing was buttercream made with cornstarch coloured in pink and green. The green is a strained spinach/kiwi puree.  and the pink is a strained strawberry/raspberry puree. The cake was sweetened with homemade apple sauce, banana and mango puree.


And here is the amaryllis in full bloom as of yesterday!

What a wonderful idea with the cake, and congratulations on your grandchild's 9th month! Your flower have opened so beautifully! Hugs, Elke

That sounds yummy even to me (I´m not into sweets much). 9 months, wow, time sure flies! My SIL sadly kept the Nieces away from me so I have not really an idea what they do at 9 months. My Brother sneaked them in occasionally. But, well. If I wanted children I would have had to try! So, no real complaints.... (just a bit).

I don't use cane sugar when baking either. LOVE adding fruits. Though I do also use local maple fruits are fantastic adds and I love doing that. Love that they're getting the little taste buds away from the sugar.
