Birthday Baking

Posted on July 15, 2015

A birthday is not a birthday without a cake, at Incy Wincy's we believe that children should celebrate these occasions together. To help the children understand the popular expression "it's the thought that counts", we feel that to make a cake really special it should be baked by friends.  So it will be no surprise that if your child celebrates their birthday on a day they would usually attend nursery then a group of their friends will be found in the kitchen with Steve baking a cake for the occasion.

It has been lovely to hear in recent weeks the children talk about which friend would like lots of icing, who prefers jam and if a cake should be chocolate or not, the one thing we can be certain of is that each cake is unique, designed with a special friend in mind.  

On a more grown up note this also helps us include the children who may have an allergy or an intolerance to some foods.  Many shop bought cakes have ingredients that a few of our children cannot eat and it is sad when they cannot share the celebration.  We hope this child led approach will allow us to include everyone and of course ease the pressure on parents as you will no longer need to buy or bake an extra birthday cake just for nursery!
