To prepare for the festivities tomorrow, I've spent the past 3 hours since she went to bed whipping up a little organic carrot cake. I got the recipe from our Super Baby Food book, and with ingredients like carrots, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, apple juice and dried apricots, should be good, right ; )
Well, I'm not a first-rate baker to begin with, and even allowing for the strange ingredients, this cake is just sad. Miserably sad. Sad enough that it's hilarious. Jay and I stopped laughing long enough to take a picture. Jason has sworn he will not take a bite of it.
It doesn't help that I was too impatient to wait for the cake to cool totally before icing it. Also doesn't help that the icing is a weird consistency (it's made of cream cheese, apple juice, and some other interesting stuff). The carrot on top is just to add to the splendor of the cake.
[For all of you concerned that we are depriving Isabelle of a true 1st birthday experience, don't worry. We do have a cupcake for her to dig into.]
