This cake has become one of the most popular choices for first birthday sessions, and it’s easy to see why.
White sprinkle exterior, rainbow layers inside and a cake stand that sets it off nicely. It looks good before anyone touches it and even better once someone has.

Left to their own devices, babies don’t always smash through enough cake to reveal what’s inside and that’s the whole point of this one. A bit of preparation means the colours are visible from the start.
