5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Selecting Your Baby’s 1st Birthday Cake
1. How Do I Choose A 1st Birthday Cake?
The starting point is to know what you want for your baby’s first birthday. The answer to this is everywhere – all you need to do is look for the clues carefully. If you have a theme chosen, the cake could be a part of that theme. Otherwise, you could decide on a color before you choose the first birthday cake.
2. What Flavour Would Be Best for the Cake?
There is no end to the options in front of you in terms of flavour. Apart from the traditional vanilla and chocolate cakes, you could also choose a Pineapple cake or a Nutella Oreo cake. Since your child won’t be tasting the cake, the choice of flavour should be based on what your guests would love.
3. What Message Should I Puton The Cake?
Parents nowadays go all out with the message they put on the cake. Whatever you decide, you must remember that it must be short, simple, and eye-catching. Alternatively, you can choose to go the traditional route and simply have the message “I am One Today” or “Happy Birthday (Name)”.
4. What Is My Budget?
It is an important consideration before you order the 1st birthday cake. The amount you are willing to spend on the cake will determine the decorations, the tiers, the extravaganza. Unless you have a budget in mind, selecting the cake can become stressful.

Introduction
When you have a sudden urge to have a cake you don’t step into a bakery to order a full-fledged cake. You get yourself a cupcake – a mini version of a delicious and decadent cake, isn’t it? Cupcakes are stress relievers; they are joy givers, and they don’t even add too many calories as a cake does.
At Bakers’ Fun, we have an array of creamy, moist cupcakes on display. We also take special orders for birthday cupcakes and party cupcakes. From animal-themed cupcakes to profession cupcakes you can order anything from us.
Have you ever wondered how these tiny, beautiful pieces of art come to form? What is their life cycle? What happens when flour and sugar mix? How does the frosting come together? Today, these are a few things we shall be talking about. Are you ready to know a little bit more about a cupcake’s life cycle?
Life Cycle of a Cup Cake
The journey of a cupcake begins from nothing – nothing. The baker first assembles the ingredients required to make the cupcakes. Typically, the key ingredients are multi-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk (just like what’s needed to bake a cake). Added to this are baking powder and essence (most likely vanilla essence). Once the ingredients are assembled, comes the time to put together the other items. Our bakers like to have things handy – they don’t run around getting things. So, once the ingredients are on the table, it’s time to bring out the lining papers, the cup papers, and the cupcake molds. Also, the oven is heated before the batter is mixed.
Preparing the Mix
Now that everything is in place, it’s time for some fun! Depending on the cupcake order, our bakers’mix and match. Sometimes it’s a flower-themed cupcake, sometimes it’s a sports cupcake – our bakers must know beforehand so that the perfect results are achieved every single time.
After whisking the eggs and sugar, folding them into them the dry ingredients make the batter light and fluffy. The batter is allowed to rest for a couple of minutes.
Pouring In the Delight
Once the batter is ready, it’s time to pour them. The cupcake molds are lined with beautiful paper linings! We believe they are important. Depending on the theme of the cupcake, the linings are placed. Onto this, the batter is poured.
Into the Oven
It’s baking time! Time for the delicacies to “rise and shine”! It takes time for a batch of cupcakes to bake but it’s worth a wait. As they bake, our bakers prepare the icing.
Icing Time!
Just like hair and makeup accentuate a person’s beauty, icing and decorations uplift the overall look of a modest vanilla cupcake. We have a bunch of themes in a place like the Superhero Themed Cupcakes or the Baby Shower-themed cupcakes for which we decorate accordingly. It takes time to decorate cupcakes – one by one. It’s all about patience but also a lot of fun!
Up for Display
Once our batches of cupcakes are prepared, they are ready to be displayed in our bakery or are dispatched to our customers (if pre-ordered). Now, it’s just the time to wait for the yummy delicacies to reach you, for you to taste, and for you to order again!
Conclusion
We love cupcakes and we are not keeping it a secret! At Bakers’ Fun, we believe that they are little joys that everyone should enjoy from time to time. We are delighted to present to you our wide range of cupcakes. Do try them and let us know what you think. You can order online or visit our bakeries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Cupcakes like Any Other Cake?
Cupcakes may be called mini versions of cakes as almost the same ingredients are used in both. The difference lies in size and decorations. Cupcakes are for individual consumption while cakes are meant to be shared.
Are Cupcakes and Muffins the Same?
No, they aren’t the same thing. They may look alike but there is a lot of difference. For baking cupcakes, the ingredients are similar to what’s used in cakes but in muffins, a variety of ingredients from oatmeal to whole wheat is used along with fruits.

Introduction
Your baker just called confirming that the surprise birthday cake for your spouse is ready and you can pick it up. You have been excited about it for days and can’t wait to look at her expressions when she realises that your wedding photo is ‘pasted’ on the cake. But now, before the penultimate moment, you are getting the jitters. No, not because you have doubts about the cake (she is sure to like it!) but you are worried about taking the three-tiered photo cake home without damaging it.
This is a common concern – something that many of our customers worry about – what if the special anniversary cake or birthday cake gets damaged? But being in the business of baking for over 30 years has taught us a few things. We know how a cake (irrespective of its size) can be carried from one location to another without damaging it. This is what we shall be talking about in today’s blog.
How to Transport a Cake Safely
While transporting a cake, the distance doesn’t matter. Whether it is 20 miles or 20 feet, unless you are careful, the cake can be irreversibly damaged. If that’s something you don’t want to happen with your cake, keep these tips to ensure intact delivery of the cake in mind.
- Choose the Box Carefully – The box which holds the cake plays a very important role in its overall safety. Make sure your baker has chosen the right box that is large enough for the cake without being too big. The cake must be tightly placed so that it doesn’t have room to move. Before you take the cake from the baker, make sure you have checked this.
- Place on a Flat Surface – The cake box must be placed on a flat surface. If you are putting the cake box inside another bag, ensure that it is wide and has enough space for the box to properly rest. Now, the next thing to remember. While transporting the cake on your car, make the box sit on your lap or on a passenger’s lap. Alternatively, you can place it on a car seat, but you must be careful that it doesn’t fall off due to heavy jerking or rough driving. If transporting on a bike, make sure that the handle of the bag is firm enough to hold on to the bike’s handlebar.
- Always Use Both Hands – While handling the cake and transporting it from one place to another, always use both your hands. Whether you are opening the box or carrying it, using both hands will give you stability and minimize all sorts of risks.
- Opening The Box – Be very careful while opening the cake box. Sometimes icing layers get stuck on the edges of the box even when you were very cautious. Take your time to open the box and do it gently. Open all the edges, nooks, and corners so that lifting the cake out will be easy.
Conclusion
Cakes are meant to make any occasion special. They are often the highlight of an evening. Be it a Diwali party or a baby shower, a cake is a must. If the cake is ruined or damaged because you didn’t transport it properly, it can spell disaster in more than one way. To make sure that this doesn’t happen at your party, keep the above-mentioned tips in mind while handling your special cake.

Let’s be honest here. Your cake may collapse if you are not careful. How you carry it around will determine whether it collapses or not. Keep our tips in mind and your cake will not collapse.
Introduction
What is the one thing that you have in mind when you walk into a bakery? It is probably the worry “will I get a freshly baked cake?”. Very often we tend to walk past a bakery or NOT place an order online because we fear they will sell us expired cakes and bakes. This is a genuine concern which we at Bakers’ Fun would like to address in today’s blog.
How to Determine the Freshness of Baked Products
At Bakers’ Fun, we assure our customers that every cake, every pastry, and every cupcake you buy is fresh. But that’s just our assurance. How do you – the customer – judge this book by its cover. Today, we shall be sharing three tips that will help you determine the freshness of any baked product. We shall be talking about the freshness of all kinds of cakes – birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, special occasion cakes and cupcakes.
Today we shall be sharing three tips to buy fresh bakery products. Keep reading to know more.
- Check The Cake’s Moisture Content – Cakes should be moist. That’s when they taste the best. This is almost a golden rule that you must always remember while buying cakes. Cakes are moist when they are fresh. The older they get, the drier they become. The more exposure to air and moisture, the drier the cake will become. That’s typically when their taste deteriorates. You can assess the moisture by lightly touching the edges of the cake. Taking a bite will of course give you a better idea.
- Colour and Feel – Isn’t it often said that before we taste a food item, our eyes judge them? In the case of cakes, this is very true. Whenever you walk into a cake store, your eyes will automatically move to the most beautiful and colorful cake. Even without fancy decorations, a fresh cake will look more colorful simply because it is fresh. So, the next time you are out buying cakes, check the colour and feel, and if you think it looks fresh, it surely must be so!
- Trusted Bakery–We should not be calling this a tip because this is a precaution more than anything else. Always go to a trusted and well-known bakery. A cake shop that is well-known in your neighborhood and has a large clientele will always serve fresh. Don’t go to a small, non-descript bakery that sees very little footfall as they are likely to sell stale baked items. At Bakers’ Fun, we have served tens and thousands of cakes over the last 30 years. Our customers keep coming back to us because of our quality. Try us once and you will know for yourself.
Conclusion
Cakes taste best when they are fresh. If they become hard and crusty, they lose their flavour and moisture. If you want to enjoy your cakes, they simply must be fresh. You can ensure this by always buying from your only trusted baker – Bakers’ Fun. We always ensure that all our items are fresh from the oven and ready to be served. Of course, the decorative cakes aren’t oven-fresh, but they are moist, soft and spongy.

Do Cakes Come with Expiry Dates?
Not really, but cakes can be fresh or stale. Some bakeries do sell stale cakes – ones that have been lying on display for sometimes while there are other trusted ones which only sell fresh cakes.
Can I Eat a Day’s Old Cake?
Yes, you may eat a cake that’s a day old – preferably kept out of the refrigerator. Refrigeration dries out cakes faster, making them hard and rubbery. If you want to eat a day-old cake, try to store it off the fridge.
