Choose one strong visual direction
A character, soft colour palette, number-one theme or playful children's design can be enough. Use a real cake reference to show the direction, then personalize it for the child.
- Child's name
- Age-one detail
- Theme or colours
Size for the guests, not the child's age
The number one describes the milestone, not how much cake is needed. Share the adult and child guest count, whether there are other desserts and how the cake will be served.
- Guest count
- Other desserts
- Serving plan
Confirm dietary questions directly
If there are allergy or dietary requirements, raise them before ordering and get a direct answer about what the bakery can accommodate. Do not infer suitability from a children's theme.
