Unicorn Cake – 1st Birthday Cake

Hello Dear Friends,

As we left behind the first year of my motherhood and our new life of 3, we celebrated the 1st birthday of our little Nehir with our family and friends. I did not expect this article to be so difficult to begin with. Pregnancy was a process in itself, but postpartum was different. When we said that I will not have a birthday for the last 6 months, we became 30 people last Sunday :)

I prepared my own treats for the birth. This time too pasta, cookies, cupcakes ve meringues I prepared it myself. After the girl went to sleep, I dealt with 1 of them every day, and I was able to finish it without much difficulty. In fact, when I made 1 cake for professional 1 year old and cake popping shots, I made 2 cakes in total :) That's why I added both.

We hosted our guests at Cafe Nar, one of our favorite breakfast places on the Anatolian side. Thanks to their delicious mother's breakfast and their friendliness, we felt at home. We are winterers but they have a wonderful garden for summer babies. You can get together as a family and plan a fun birthday. Instagram from here You can follow their accounts.

We had some little surprises for our guests who came on our birthday. Of these, Zep Atelier prepared the sweetest honey jars and lavender sachets special to Nehir's name. If you have such small memories in mind, I would definitely recommend it. Instagram accounts and different examples You can find it here.

Besides my cake, I also made 24 cupcakes. When there were 30 people, it came complete with cake. You can find the recipe here.

I prepared 2 sponge cakes separately for the cake, the following measurements are for 1 piece. If you want to watch the video You can find it here.
