Birthday cake/icing
I just joined tudiabetes and this is a bit of a superficial question...but my daughter was diagnosed on Septebmer 23 so we're all still adjusting. Her birthday is November 16 and we're having a Dora themed party (which turns out to be good food-wise, she loves tacos and they're very food-plan-friendly!). I have the Dora cake pan and Dora colors for the icing, however, I don't know what kind of cake and icing to make. Has anyone come across anything that is lower in carbs for cake and icing (that I can color and decorate with)? After this year I will probably lean more toward other desserts but I was still hoping to do one last traditional cake...any thoughts?

hi maria...
my son was dxd on thanksgiving day, 2007. he was 13 months old. october 9th, he turned 3!!
we had a huge party and great foods...diabetic friendly, of course!
we kept the 'grazing' snacks out all day, meat and cheese tray, veggie trays, etc. and i made muffins instead of cupcakes...they were a hit!! no icing to worry about, and you can even sneak in some extra healthy things and the kids don't even notice. ben, my son, LOVES muffins more than anything, so it worked out perfectly!!
everyone whos responded, is right...let them eat cake! kids have to still be kids!!!!
good luck and don't ever stop asking questions!! we are all here for each other!!
