bitty-bits
“Bitty-Bits” comes from my grandfather who would always sign off his letters to us by saying, “love you to bitty-bits!” This section is my homage to him and to childhood, making this the portion of my menu for baby’s first birthday cake.
I made a cake a few years ago for my niece on her first birthday and she broke out because - surprise! - she was allergic to dairy. I have met many babies with a similar allergy, and many parents are not ready for their children to have refined sugar on that first birthday. With the current trend of smash cakes, I wanted to offer an alternative option that is more friendly to baby stomachs.
In this spirit, this section of my menu is reserved for baby’s first cake, giving you naturally/alternatively sweetened and dairy free options. They are “naked” and can be adorned with fresh fruit or edible flowers (as are seasonally available).

All cakes are 4" round and "naked," iced minimally with a coconut whipped cream**, sweetened with maple. If your child is ALLERGIC TO NUTS/COCONUT, please let me know! I would be happy to talk further about their dietary restrictions and together see if we can come up with an alternative option
