How much can a 12-month-old creature change you? How much can help you put your priorities in the right order? It came to our lives in such a sweet way that I remember these days somewhat like a dream!
I may not remember what I ate yesterday and forget about things like paying my cell phone or even my dad’s birthday. But i can’t forget details such as the words we said when we first hold her, her face when we first met, her dad’s and mommy’s words. I do not forget the first time her grandfather called me ”godfather”. I can not erase the sentiment of the first time I fed her fish soup. And she ate it all!
Somehow, 12 months later, we found ourselves counting days and watching her going from one corner of the house to the other. She laughs and we laugh. She frowns and we stare at her, straight in the eyes, until she smiles again.
At this age she is not allowed to eat sweets! Of course, in that age, i would eat up a whole box of biscuits but that’s another story. That’s why I decided to make a cake that does not have sugar, has not anything to which she might show an allergy (such as nuts) and generally i made it with raw materials that are preferred to one-year-olds.
My ally in her first cake was Flora with butter that unlocks all the flavor and gives a perfect texture to every cake.
