My son has never really liked cake and ice cream but I never know what to make for his birthday to make it still seem like a birthday party.I've tried a peanut butter bar cake and Jello molds and those didn't really work either.

I should also mention that he doesn't like cookies, brownies, popsicles or anythingof a dessert nature really...

What I would do is make the cake and ice cream anyway, he doesn't have to eat it, but he can still blow out his candles and everyone that likes it can have it, but also find something that's special to him that you can have that day like popsicles or something, ask him! Maybe he wants pizza?? who knows!

For my son's first birthday there were about 30 people present. Most were family. Why did I invite that many people? Because most of my extended family is still living and they all live in the area (within 10 miles). If I didn't invite them they would be upset. I also put one invitation up at work and whoever wanted to come was welcome. I have been at my job for almost 4 years and everyone that was there saw me get pregnant, go through my pregnancy, and saw my son reach his first birthday. I didn't invite people for the gifts. If anything I would rather invite less people and spend less on food and more on my son. I can have as big of a party as I want because he is my son and no one says you are obligated to bring a gift. My son's birthday is coming up and I just told everyone he doesn't need anything but if you feel the need to buy him a present he will probably need some new clothes by then.

My son is the same way. The only difference is he wants a cake. So he picks out what kind of cake he wants and I make that cake. Then at his birthday party we do candles and singing, the whole bit. I always give him a small piece of cake which he rarely eats. But when I try to do something different he doesn't want me to do that. Does your son want a different dessert? Or is he okay with a cake that he just doesn't eat?

you don't need cake and other baked goods to have a party. Why not make a home-made pizza and put the candles in that?
I would suggest to take something that he does like, and make that into a birthday "cake". Just because no one else does it, doesn't mean that it can't be done or that the kids won't enjoy it! Perhaps you'll set a new trend!
Edited to add: I forgot to add that my son's first birthday "cake" was actually a pumpkin pie.

Its not just the accual eating of cake that makes it a party. My cousin was the same way and they would have all the children make different food items each birthday, some ate them, some didn't but they ALL had fun. Some of the things they did were decorate gingerbread house like things, decorate cookies, make snow cones.

Buy a bunch of those little cocktail umbrella's and fun party straws and make smoothies. You can place colorful fruit on a three tiered dish and decorate it with those little umbrellas. Put happy birthday candles (they have ones that spell out happy b-day) in the fruit on the top tier. Then use the fruit to make the smoothies. Or, do a cheese fondue with bread... buy some really cool toothpicks from a party store. Decorate around the fondue centerpiece with a bunch of happy birthday items.

My friend had a candy bar cake and it was a fake cake like made out of a box or something and then she hot glued all different candy bars to it. When it was time to cut the cake we all just pulled off what candy bar we wanted! We also had a pizza cake it was thick crust cooked then we covered with sauce and sprinkled cheese and what every else we wanted on our pieces.

Since most children like cake and ice cream I would suggest making the cake anyway and ask your child what he would like you to make him to make his birthday special. You could do pudding with alittle cool whip on top and some sprinkles. Most kids will tell you what they want and just do this for him and whomever might not like cake and ice cream..

Make a jell-o cake. You can buy molds at the store in different shapes for that. Than use cool whip as icing. Add on top his favorite candies, or fruit, and stick in the candles.

You should bake him his favorite meal !
You can also make some sweets for the other kids, and then you can have hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, soda, pizza, etc!
There is a lot of choice for him.
You could even make a fun decoration on the table with all those sandwiches and cool things to eat.
For the famous candle blow, you could put his candle on a huge sandwich, or make a fake cake, just for him to blow his candle.
You could, for instance, make him blow the candle on a gift box, so that as soon as he blows it, he would open his gift and play with it.
If he likes fruit you should check this article out:
