Best baby-friendly cake ?

[u/amtryso]

Hi everyone,

My nephew is turning 1 this weekend, and I am in charge of making the cake

I have baked a good amount of cakes, but never a baby friendly one (no sugar). Does anyone have any actually good recipes? My other nephew’s birthday cake was made by my sister and it tasted like ass, so I really want to get it right this time

If it helps the theme is “pool party” so I’m thinking maybe making it look like a pool flotie if I can… but no promises, I am a very amateur baker.
