My sons 1st birthday is on Friday, and I am having family over for the afternoon. All I am doing is a buffet, like mini sandwiches, sausage rolls, mini pizzas, cocktail sausages, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, crisps, mini Indian selection etc. I am trying to do things that my son can also eat, and his cousin who turned one 5 weeks ago. As for the cake I am not as adventurous as you! I have opted to get one from Tesco's and have a picture of him printed on it. It's only about £8.
I hope your little girl has a very happy 1st birthday!
Just an after thought, I know that there are specialist cake shops (ie decorations etc) that hire out cake tins. My step dad hired one in the shape of a teddy for my niece one year. Have a look through the yellow pages and see if there are any near you. They may even be able to give you a recipe.

Making a #1 cake is as easy as baking a sheet cake and carving a 1 out of it (after the cake is completely cooled, it may be much easier to do if you freeze for 1 hour.). Then frosting it.
Use the left over cake to make another desert dish:
Use a glass bowl
Put 1/2 of the cut up cake peices on the bottom, put a layer of 1/2 a bag of frozen berries tossed with white sugar (Let sit for 1/2 hour this will create a "jucy" mixture), Mix whipped topping (one small tub)with vanilla yogurt (2 single serving) and put 1/2 on top of the berries. Repeat with remaining ingredients. This looks beautiful, and is delecious.
I would suggest serving things your baby likes, since it is her birthday.....
Homemade Mac and cheese is always a good idea
Or for lunch you could do cold cuts, with fancy buns, chips, dip, ect....
Happy Birthday Little One!

My son turned 1 in December 2006, he had two parties. One with just my family, and then one that was a joint party with friends of his cousin whose birthday is the day after his. I found that the family only party was the best choice! Simply finger foods worked well for us. I found that baked potato strips, and soft chicken like the chicken fries and french fries from Burger King let the baby feed himself which left our hands free and made him feel more independant. But it all depends on what your baby is eating and your personal confort levels are with self feeding. As far as cakes go we got a store bought box and used applesauce to make the cake more moist. If you cant find a #1 cake pan, cook the cake in a rectangle shaped pan, freeze it, then cut out the shapes needed to make the number. You can use frosting to hold the pieces together and then frost the entire cake to finish. Good luck and congratulations!

Just make a normal cake that everyone would like and then cut into shape. You might need to make 2 long cakes and cut one into pieces to make the top and bottom of the one, then stick together with cream and cover in icing. Or you could just go to the shop and buy a catterpillar choc log cake, which everyone will enjoy just as much and stick a number one candle on top.
keep your party food simple, like crisps, dips, sausages, vol u vonts etc, remember it is a childrens party you can get away with it

My son is 1 in 4 weeks, i am so proud! I have orderd him a number 1 cake from cooplands (it's easier and will taste muuuch better) I am just going to do a few sandwichs and breadsticks, a small fruit bowl as my son loves fruit, chicken nuggets and a few mini rolls and buns, i am not doing too much most of them are 1 year olds and it will get wasted. x
Hope your daughter has a great 1st birthday xx
