Baby’s Birthday Brunch

After throwing numerous birthday parties for my two big boys, Julian and Noa, I learned the hard way that babies, when they turn one-year-old, don’t remember their first birthday party. Save yourself from long nights of party preparations, even if you are addicted to do-it-yourself, and plan a simple get-together for family and close friends.

For baby Liam, we had a Sunday brunch. Elegant and effortless, check how we did it:

1. Upside down banana cake cupcake. I got my favorite banana cake recipe and turned it into a cupcake. I frosted it only with cream and no sugar frosting and it was a great compliment to the banana compote (Upside down banana cake recipe) 2. Mini French toast and maple syrup. I got these really cute glasses in IKEA. I have used them in almost every party. Perfect for mini food. 3. Natural yogurt, granola and blueberries. Nam! Healthy and delicious!

4. Fresh cold organic orange juice completes a pleasing dessert table!

5. Grilled bread with 2 different toppings. Beef, homemade soft cheese and grilled grapes topping and soft cheese, cherry tomatoes, basil and crunchy bacon.
