Cooking the cake was my first time having to prepare something with low protein for Lily. I wasn't too nervous, since it was a boxed cake from Maddy's! **Note: my cake looks nothing like Maddy's!** |
The day was perfect. We had wonderful weather, our family and friends came to celebrate, and Lily was happy. She took a long nap and woke up when the first guest arrived. It was like a dream. Lily also was extremely friendly and would go to anyone. This was a bit unusual since Lily has been in a stranger mood for months! But I'm not going to complain, it lets me have a bit of a break.
When it came time to serve cake, we had two options: yellow cake with chocolate frosting and Lily's cake- yellow cake with Duncan Hines Vanilla frosting. We quickly ran out of the first cake and people were left with Lily's cake. This was the real test. How does a low protein cake taste? The results: everyone loved it. They said that the texture was a little spongy, but it was moist and tasted great. Whew :)
Lily loved her first taste of cake :)
Andrew actually preferred the low protein cake over the first one! Now that's a winner.
Aww! Happy Birthday! Glad she liked the cake! :) (That is one of the challenges for sure with the pku diet I think.)
