I feel like a bad mummy but I hate making cakes so I've ordered one from Tesco. And we aren't having a proper party either - my excuse being that she's too young to appreciate it and will just get upset at having to share her toys. I am also 6 weeks pg and have been feeling bleurgh and shattered.

We are having her cousins round for lunch but as I only work 2 days a week I now think I should have organised something more special.

Feeling guilty...

Thanks so much! My mum and sister are big cooks and bakers so I was feeling really inadequate.

I will keep repeating my mantra "I Never Claimed to be a Domestic Goddess..."

stop feeling guilty, stop it, stop!
she will have fun, they will all eat cake, you won't be stressed - whats to feel guilty about?

Lord no! We got a slice of carrot cake from a local top notch eaterie and stuck a candle in it. We ate most of said cake too

A 2 year old has no expectations around birthday cakes - plenty of time for all that. And at 6 weeks preg (congratulations btw) you are on special measures anyway.
Hope your dd has a good day.

Don't feel guilty! We are now into third birthday territory and I can confidently say that I have never been to a single party/birthday tea where there was a home-made cake!

Absolutely fine to have a pre-made cake! DD's birthday cakes have always been preordered and I have never felt guilty about it.

And you are having a party - you are having her cousins round for lunch and to play. For a two year old this will be more than special enough for her I bet.

Hope she, and you, have a lovely day!
