Baby's first Birthday - will frosting stain face?

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

A little off topic ...today is my baby girl's first b-day party. I got her one of the little blue cinderella cakes for her smash cake....do you think it will stain her skin/face? Just asking cause her pictures are Wednesday...thanks!!

I would just scrape off the blue part before she starts smashing, that way you don't have to worry. My cousin's little girl had a Tigger cake and she had black frosting on her face for 2 days!!!

DS had a pooh cake and yes the RED did stain. Not sure how long but it was around for a little while.

BTW-He like the cake for about 2 seconds and then cried his heart out because it was EVERYWHERE.

yup...it will most likely stain! Been there, done that...

You could put a thin layer of vaseline on her face before giving her the cake...it should prevent the frosting from getting to her skin. Also, if there are stains, try baby oil to remove them. Generally, food coloring and paint in general are easier to use removing oil (Crisco works great) than soap and water.

Needless to say, clothing will also stain. Strip her down before you let her at it!

There will definitely be blue poop, too.
