As some of you may know my youngest suffers from allergies of every kind; from dairy to pet dander and worst of all nuts!
It was a struggle to find a formula that he could tolerate as a new born, since all of them on the market contain Casein, the milk protein. Thank goodness for Alimentum! It is not 100% Casein free but the protein is treated and broken down making it easier for babies with protein sensitivity to digest.
So with his first birthday quickly approaching you could imagine my concern of baked goods. What's a first birthday without a "smash cake" for the guest of honor? There was no way I wasn't going to allow him this privilege.
I have searched high n low on the Internet for Vegan (does not contain dairy) cake and cookie recipes. And even though I have come across a few I was still on the fence about having to bake dozens of desserts for the 100+ guests that we have invited to his party. Luckily I came across Green Cupcakes & More!
Green Cupcakes and More is owned and operated by Georgina Seeck, a mother whose child developed multiple food allergies as an infant.
Parties, celebrations, school functions and play dates were always full of dangerous allergens, especially in the cupcakes, cookies and cakes. Georgina became frustrated and unsatisfied with the current products on the market and decided to bake an allergen free cupcake that was beautiful, delicious and healthier. Frustration soon turned into a passion, and Green Cupcakes and More was created for every child and person who wants their cupcake and eat it too!

So now I can relax and know that my son will have a delicious and allergy free smash cake to enjoy for his birthday!
