Last month we celebrated the milestone of my youngest daughter turning TWO!
As the four of us blew out this candle (well it was actually a no. 2 sparkler), my heart was bursting with gratitude for our little family and the beautiful life that WE have created - surrounded by our family and friends. And how much we have grown together in the past 12 months - it has been a bumpy roller coaster ride but we did it!
You know how I love wholefoods and healthy treats so her party food was no different. Here are the recipe links for some of treats I made to share with our loved ones....
Almond and choc chip cookies: https://www.plantoeat.com/recipes/18319611
Apricot bites: https://www.plantoeat.com/recipes/18519908
For her birthday cake, I decided to tackle a three layered vegan vanilla sponge cake, with layers of cashew cream and topped with sweet potato chocolate icing and hopper foods sprinkles. Here are the recipe links:
1-bowl vegan GF vanilla cake: https://www.plantoeat.com/recipes/19218454/
Sweet potato chocolate frosting: https://www.plantoeat.com/recipes/19218531/
Cashew cream: https://www.plantoeat.com/recipes/19218397/
I have certainly learnt from the first few birthday parties that I organised for my daughter's, that for us, simplicity is key. We love being able to share the day and celebrate their birthday with our loved ones but making it a BIG celebration causes too much stress and that isn't enjoyable. We love having a small party with a small selection of healthy treats which equals no fuss or stress so that we can just enjoy the time spent together.
