My son just turned one this summer and he not only covered himself in frosting, he destroyed half of the cake and even steped on it. Covering himself head to toe in frosting. Twenty minutes later he was done no one waned to eat that cake. Call your safeway, that is where we got my sons cake, it was 8 inches and free as it was a first birthday cake. Call and see if yours does this too.
INstead of cake make a different desert for the rest of the family, trifles are very easy and yummy to make.
