Thank you!
My boy has just turned two, and so is finally understanding celebration. Still going around the house singing Happy Birthday, like when I lit the fire the other night haha. But he’s allergic to cows milk, so I need to be creative about Easter treats. His birthday cake was dairy free, but it’s not always easy to work out the alternatives. Looking forward to trying 3 ingredient pineapple cake – sounds amazing!
