Birthday cake recipe for a 1 year old girl

We are preparing a biscuit.

1. Combine eggs with sugar.


2. Beat with a mixer for 2 minutes into a fluffy foam, until the mass increases 3 times.


3. Add flour, be sure to sift it. This way the biscuit dough will be better saturated with oxygen, the cake will turn out tender and soft. Why do you need premium flour? It has the highest gluten content, which means the dough will be airy.


4. Beat the dough with bubbles. You should have the consistency of liquid sour cream.


5. Pour the dough into a mold with a diameter of 23-25 ​​cm. I have a silicone one, it does not need to be additionally lubricated with oil, and the finished baked goods can be removed from it quite simply and without damage. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake for 10 minutes (not for long, because the sponge cake is thin).


6. The rosy sponge cake is ready. Just in case, we check with a wooden skewer: pierce the dough and see if the baked cake does not stick. We leave the biscuit to cool right in the mold, but for now let’s make compote.


Preparing apple compote.

7. Soak the gelatin (it’s convenient to soak all the gelatin at once; a third of the mass will go into compote, two-thirds into curd soufflé).

Compote is a type of filling made from pieces of fruit, sugar syrup and a gelling element (in this case, gelatin, but often pectin is also added to compote). To prepare compote, fruits undergo minimal heat treatment, which means they retain maximum benefits.


8. Peel and seed the apples, cut them into small cubes, add sugar, and pour lemon juice over them. Thanks to lemon, the apples will not darken and will have a beautiful golden hue. You can add a little zest if your child is not allergic to citrus fruits. You can also include a little cinnamon, vanilla and other spices for a spicy taste and aroma.


9. Cook the apples covered over low heat.


10. Drain the apple juice using a colander.


11. This juice will be useful for sponge cake. You can soak the cake with it to make it moist, even softer and more flavorful.


12. Puree the apples (leave them in pieces if desired). Add the swollen gelatin with water to the hot mass and mix thoroughly.


13. Take the cooled biscuit out of the mold. Help yourself with a spatula, lightly pressing on the bottom of the pan and tilting it.


14. Soak the dough with the remaining apple syrup.


15. Pour the compote into the silicone mold in which the sponge cake was baked. You can also pour the mixture into a springform pan or ring, lining the bottom and sides with cling film.


16. Place the biscuit on top, cover with cling film and put it in the freezer for 2 hours. The film will not allow the products to become saturated with foreign odors. Half an hour before the end, we begin preparing the soufflé.


Let's prepare the soufflé.

A soufflé for a no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies is made in a similar way; for comparison, see the recipe. The curd soufflé turns out very tender and light - just what you need for children's party. To make the soufflé smoother, it is better to use soft cottage cheese, without lumps. Store-bought cottage cheese or curd cheese is perfect. But if you ferment kefir for your child, you can use it to make the most tender and healthy cottage cheese without lumps. By the way, such cottage cheese can also be made from ordinary kefir: it needs to be heated in a steam bath until the whey begins to separate, then weigh it out and drain all the liquid. Banana goes very well with cottage cheese, giving the dessert its own flavor, and the soufflé with it always turns out perfect. Moreover, both apples and bananas are low-allergenic foods that can be introduced into complementary foods for children from 6 months of age.

17. Break the peeled bananas into several parts to make it easier to chop. Combine bananas with cottage cheese and sugar. Adjust the sugar to your taste so that the cake is enjoyable for adults to eat, and so that children do not find it too sweet.


18. Puree with an immersion blender into a homogeneous mass.


19. Prepare the ring, side tape and cling film. If you don’t have a split ring and side tape, you can get by with a large-diameter split mold (about 30 cm) or use a large and deep glass bowl or basin. My cake turned out to be about 10 cm in height and 26 cm in diameter.


20. Line the cake ring with cling film and put a side tape - it makes it easier to take out the cake and the edges are smoother.


21. Pour the cream into a bowl. There is a lot of fat left on the walls of the cardboard box; scoop it up with a spoon. According to the rules, the cream is whipped very cold; just in case, it can be placed in the freezer for 5 minutes. We also place whisks from the mixer there so that the cream is sure to whip well. But the most important condition for obtaining an airy creamy mass is that the product must have at least 33% fat content. Cream gives the dessert a delicate milky taste, the dessert turns out porous and airy.


22. Take out the chilled cream and beat with a mixer until thick. average speed. 10 minutes is enough. If you beat them, you will get oil, be careful.


23. Move the whipped cream to the cottage cheese with sugar.


24. Pour in the gelatin melted in a water bath and quickly mix everything.


25. Move the curd mass into the ring and level it with a spoon.


26. Meanwhile, the compote and biscuit have frozen, remove them from the mold.


27. Submerge the frozen sponge cake with compote in the curd mixture. When slicing, layers will be visible. We put the future cake in the freezer overnight (if you are in a hurry, then for at least 6 hours so that everything has time to completely harden).


Preparing mastic for the cake.

A more detailed mastic recipe is already on the website.

28. Confectionery mastic is used to decorate cakes. The main element in its composition is powdered sugar, and egg whites, marshmallows, marzipan, starch or marshmallows are used as additives, as in this recipe. To soften the marshmallows, heat them in the microwave. When the mass increases 2-3 times, you can take it out. Be careful - the hot mixture may stick to your hands. Therefore, we will first knead the mastic with a spoon.


29. Mix marshmallows with powdered sugar, citric acid and roll the mixture into a ball.


30. To create colored mastic, squeeze out the juice of grated beets and pour into the marshmallows.


31. Add powdered sugar and mix with a spoon. When it stops sticking to the dishes, knead with your hands and roll into a ball.


32. Roll out the white mastic. Many people do this on a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar or starch. To make the mastic more gentle and not clog with excess powder, you can lubricate the surface vegetable oil, this does not affect the taste. Roll out evenly to form a circle much larger than the cake. The optimal thickness is 2-3 mm. If you roll it too thin, there is a risk that the mastic will tear.


33. Take the frozen cake out of the freezer and place it on a tray or stand. Everything is almost ready, the last stage remains. By the way, start working with mastic immediately after preparing it, it hardens quickly. If you need to postpone the process, cover the mastic with cling film and put it in the refrigerator, and when the time comes, warm it up just a little in the microwave so that it can be easily rolled out and cut out the shapes.


We are putting together a cake for a girl.

34. Transfer the white fondant with your hands and place it on the cake.


35. We smooth out all the unevenness and edges with an iron, or with a spoon or spatula, and carefully cut off the excess with a sharp knife (you can use a round one for pizza). It is better to cut not to the level of the bottom edge, but to leave 1-2 mm so that holes do not form, and then trim it. If bubbles appear, they can be easily eliminated using a medical syringe needle: pierce the bubble and smooth it out with an iron.


36. Roll out the pink mass, cut out the number 1 from it, you can add “year” and the girl’s name - at your discretion. We attach it to the center of the cake, lubricating the joint with water.


37. We will decorate the children's cake with pink flowers made from fondant. Squeeze out the flowers using plungers. If there are no plungers, you can use small caps, for example, for medicines in jars. The edges of the flowers can be pressed with your fingers, giving them the shape of buds.


38. Place large flowers and hearts on top and bottom in a circle. Small products perfectly mask all the unevenness of the mastic

Recipe No. 3 (snatched from this girl’s baby)

So, we will need:

1) for cakes

200 g brown sugar

200 g butter or margarine

5 eggs

50 ml milk

250 g flour

1 tsp slaked soda

2) for cream

400 g of children's cottage cheese, preferably with a fruit additive, for example blueberry

300 g cream 33% fat

200 g sour cream 20%

100 g sugar or powdered sugar

10 g gelatin (1 sachet)

3) for decoration

300 g fresh berries

half a pack of baby cookies (I have Heinz)

half a meter of wide satin ribbon

candle - optional :)

Grind butter with sugar, add eggs, milk, mix everything. Sift the flour, add it to the resulting mixture and knead the dough. It shouldn't be very cool. Line a small springform baking dish with baking paper, pour half of the dough into it, and smooth it out. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. And so - 2 times.

While the cakes are baking, beat the sour cream with 200 g of cottage cheese and 50 g of sugar (or powdered sugar). If you decide to take cottage cheese without additives, in my opinion, it is better to increase the amount of sugar a little. Add some berries to the resulting cream, which are best cut in half or four - it depends on what berries you take. This will be the cream for layering the cakes.

Stir gelatin in 100 ml of cream, leave for 10 minutes, then heat it a little on the stove, but do not boil. Wait until the mixture cools down to room temperature. After this, beat the remaining 200 grams of curd and all the cream with 50 grams of sugar; this mixture will cover the top of the cake.

Assemble the cake directly in the mold. Place the cream with sour cream on the bottom cake layer, level it, cover with the second cake layer and pour the cream with gelatin, level it again. Make sure that the height of the assembled cake is slightly lower than the cookies, you need to leave some space for the berries. After this, put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours, or better yet, overnight. When the top layer of cream has hardened, carefully remove the cake from the mold (go around the edges with a sharp knife). Now is the time to decorate the cake with cookies, for this you will need someone's help to hold the cookies already placed along the sides with a ribbon. Tie a bow, set a candle, decorate the top with berries.

Our birthday boy was so carried away by the berries that he didn’t even touch the burning candle or destroy the cookie fence. After all the ceremonial procedures, the cake went to the adults on the table and was eaten with appetite. Well, of course, I wouldn’t offer it to guests after all this, but if you want to treat someone, you don’t have to give this cake to the child to be torn to pieces, but cut off one piece. In this case, it is better to pour the berries onto the cake while the top layer of cream has not yet completely turned into a soufflé, so that when cutting the berries do not scatter in different directions.

Decorate to taste

QUESTION: delicious and beautiful cake. decorated with fondant?
ANSWER: Yes, with mastic. But this cake was made to order and they wanted mastic; in fact, it doesn’t come off well from the cake itself, because... the cake is moist and not covered with cream on top. Therefore, I advise you not to decorate it for home use. But if it is to order, then warn that the mastic should be removed with a knife

Recipe No. 5

Cake base - "Nezhenka" cookies or any other baby cookies. The cookies are dipped in the milk mixture, placed on a plate, then cottage cheese or fruit puree is placed (what your baby already eats), then fruits (bananas, kiwi, tangerines - again, what your child eats and is not allergic to), again cookies, etc.
It all depends on your imagination. It is advisable to rehearse in advance so as not to ruin everything at hour “x”.
Sometimes cottage cheese and fruits give a lot of juice, then the cookies don’t need to be soaked or dipped one at a time!

Can be cooked for cake marmalade from apples:
From 500 grams of green peeled apples, squeeze the juice without pulp. Cook without sugar over low heat for 40-50 minutes, until a good brown color appears (so that it does not flow quickly down the spoon). Pour the resulting marmalade over the cake.

A one-year-old child is allowed to be pampered, namely pampered, and not fed, with sweets prepared only with fructose.
Recipe No. 6

Ingredients for making baby cake with whipped cream

The list of products for this children's cake is more than modest.

  1. Square or rectangular cookies(absolutely any cookies that you already give to your baby, as well as those that you like). It doesn't matter whether it's soft or hard. Any will do. By the way, this is a good reason to use cookies that are tired and lying around, no one eats them (if you have one :-))
  2. Bananas - 5 pieces medium size
  3. Cream (at least 30% fat) - 250 ml
  4. Cottage cheese (can be homemade) - 0.5 kg
  5. Granulated sugar - 1/2 cup (grind into powdered sugar or just use powdered sugar)
  6. Vanillin - 1 sachet
  7. Milk for soaking cookies

Recipe for a baby cake with whipped cream for a first birthday with photo

We remove the cream, the container in which we will beat it and the whisks for the mixer in the refrigerator to cool. It is advisable to do this much in advance (so that the cream is very cold), or put it in the freezer to cool it faster, but here it is important to prevent the product from freezing.


Take a blender bowl and put coarsely chopped (broken) bananas into it. Use a blender to grind it all into a homogeneous paste - puree. If you don’t have a blender, you can simply grind it with a fork, but this will, of course, take much longer.


Prepare powdered sugar. Pour granulated sugar into a small blender bowl, add vanillin and grind the sugar into powder.


Line a cutting board (in the absence of a large square dish) with baking paper (so as not to stain the board and make it easier to cut and handle the cake).


We take the cream out of the refrigerator and begin to beat it with powdered sugar. You can read about how to whip cream for a cake in the article.


When the cream is whipped into foam, add the cottage cheese and gently beat, starting at low speeds, gradually increasing the speed. Then we also gradually reduce the rotation speed. The cream with whipped cream and cottage cheese is ready.


Pour some milk into a shallow plate and heat it.


Now put the cookies in this plate, literally dip them completely for a few seconds (if you keep the cookies in milk for a long time, they will swell and break).


Remove and place the cookies on baking parchment (or a square plate). I put 4 pieces in length and 2.5 in height (you can see it in the photo). Square cookies make it easier to get an even cake shape. I had a rectangular one, so I had to break the cookies a little. This turned out to be the bottom layer of cookies.


Next, we grease this layer with banana puree. Don’t skimp, the amount of puree is made in excess. So make a normal layer of mashed banana. Then make a layer of curd cream and cream on top of the banana puree.


And again a layer of cookies. Now I have placed the cookies in a different order. There are no such problems with square cookies.


Now we swap the layers. A layer of cream with cottage cheese, and on top a layer of banana puree.


Place the cookies dipped in milk again.

Layer of banana puree (spread all the leftovers, the layer turns out good... high;-))

Coat the sides and top of the pie with cream and cottage cheese. The layer is also thick and of high quality.

All! Place the cake in the refrigerator overnight.


This is what a children's cake looks like in cross section.


The cake turns out very tender and airy due to the whipped banana and light cream of whipped cream and cottage cheese. They ate it very quickly. I didn’t even expect such success myself.

Our usual recipes for puff pastries, biscuits, butter creams with banal inscriptions and roses have long remained only on the pages of recipe books. Nowadays, attentive mothers and contemporaries - confectioners - are doing their best to ensure that the birthday cake on the table is not just beautiful, but magical. This will be especially true when choosing desserts for such a special celebration.

When choosing a holiday theme, it is imperative to take into account the interests of the child, remember your favorite cartoons, heroes of your favorite fairy tales, and decorate both the room and the holiday table in this theme.

If your baby is not attracted to the taste of grapes or meringue, then you should not decorate the cake with these ingredients for the sake of beautiful picture, or strictly follow your chosen recipe.

An attentive mother always knows about her child’s taste preferences, so there should be no problems with unwanted ingredients. When preparing dishes, you should not use products that may cause allergies or exotic products that the child has not yet tried. A children's birthday is a day when other invited kids will try the treats. In order not to conduct additional surveys among guests before creating a menu, you can immediately exclude ingredients such as citrus fruits, honey and nuts.

The products that will be used both for baking desserts and for decorating decorations also deserve special attention. Never use synthetic dyes. Remember, you are cooking for little guests, and such products have no place on the children's table! There are a lot of natural dyes that will add bright colors to your dish and are completely harmless to the child’s body. Here are a few natural dyes whose pigment will add brightness to your dish: blue cabbage, strawberry juice, parsley, beets and carrots. When ordering a cake from experienced confectioners, be sure to check what dyes they use in their work.

Mastic comes in several types (textures). You can use velvet, milk, chocolate or marshmallow. You can buy it at the store or prepare it yourself.

Not everyone likes the taste of mastic; for some it is too cloying. And some parents try to limit their young children in sweets. However, will parents be able to upset their one-year-old baby and prevent him from tasting a colorful robot or a mastic superhero? Therefore, you should be prepared that little hands will reach for a bright star or a colorful car on a cake made from delicious mastic dough.

Decorating options and recipes for cakes for a one-year-old boy.

Little representatives of the stronger sex, even at one year of age, already show curiosity. Therefore, a cake for a one-year-old boy should be appropriate - interesting, bright and colorful.

But ordinary cakes with congratulatory inscriptions, the child’s name or an image of the number one have also not been canceled. They would be so appropriate for a holiday.

A delicious cake for a one year old boy will be remembered by guests for its unusual appearance and unsurpassed taste!

So, the baby's first birthday is coming up. Surely the hero of the occasion himself does not yet realize the full responsibility of such a moment, which cannot be said about his parents and invited guests. Therefore, everything should be well thought out in advance: the birthday boy’s outfit, festive, but comfortable, so that you can move and play freely, useful and cute gifts and, of course, a cake. Of course, whether to give a baby such a delicacy at his age is a rather controversial issue, but maintaining the appropriate solemn atmosphere (especially the baby’s first birthday in his life) is simply necessary. A custom-made cake for a year will help with this, which you can quickly and profitably purchase on the website of the Moscow Baker confectionery.

The first thing I would like to draw your attention to is the huge variety of design options for such a festive delicacy. You can order the decoration of the cake in accordance with your sketches, or you can not bother yourself and choose a ready-made version of the sweet decoration from our catalog. For example:

  • Single cake. Children's cakes for one year are often ordered as a single item. And not without reason, because this number can not only symbolize the child’s first birthday party in his life, but also become a sincere wish for the child to always be the first in everything.

  • Cake with angels. Little children look like angels, so a cake with the appropriate design will definitely become a cute and original table decoration, as well as an eloquent compliment to the baby’s parents.

  • Children's paraphernalia. When ordering a birthday cake, you can choose to decorate it with sweet baby paraphernalia. Typically, such delicacies are decorated with children's toys made from sugar mastic: teddy bears, cubes, pyramids and other touching things that the baby loves to play with. Since the birthday boy is already beginning to stand on his own feet and take his first steps, the treat can be decorated with tiny edible booties. Our craftsmen will embody strollers, pacifiers, rattles and other cute attributes that accompany a child at this stage of his life on your sweet gift.

  • Little engine. Children's cakes for a one-year-old boy are often made in the shape of a train. Especially if he has already ridden such an attraction or has a favorite toy that makes “choo-choo.” In this case, the cake in the shape of a train will appeal to the baby and, without a doubt, will delight all the gathered guests.

  • Cartoon and fairy-tale characters. If a one-year-old toddler has already acquired his favorite fairy-tale characters, then our confectioners will be able to embody his first sympathies in the design of a birthday cake. If you don’t have clear preferences yet, you can decorate the 1st birthday cake with bears, lion cubs or other cute animals.

  • Traditional design. You can also present your baby with a birthday cake with a traditional, more neutral, but no less gentle and touching design. As a rule, preference is given to flowers, bows and ribbons.

  • Fruit cake. Our confectioners can decorate a custom-made cake for a one-year-old baby with fresh fruit at your request. This option is not only beautiful and healthy, but will also allow the hero of the occasion to taste his own birthday cake.
