The cake, an indispensable element

If there is one thing that children expect during a birthday snack, it is precisely the cake. If you want to make a new recipe, test it several days before, just to give you the time to make some adjustments if necessary.
On D-Day, do not forget the candles and the camera to immortalize this snack.
The best is still to do in the simplicity if you are not sure of your cooking skills: a cake with yogurt, chocolate or a cake will delight your little guests. Like a cake rolled in the spread or jam.
The key to success is the little extra: icing, candy, vermicelli and even nugatine nuggets to add to the cake just before serving. Think also of coulis or whipped cream. To surprise, bet on the color by adding a little food coloring or colored almond paste in your cake.
Want to make a train or a pirate ship? Never mind. Bring several types of cookies ready and put them on a base. Position them until you find the best shape.
Another idea: the personalized cake. Visit the Internet to order a paper "that eats" the image of your child. Then just put it directly on the cake. Success guaranteed.
To change the cake, offer them a chocolate fondue with chopped fresh fruit and sweets. But be careful that chocolate is not too strong, toddlers do not often appreciate dark chocolate.
