Someone's Turning ONE! 1st Birthday Party Ideas

This month has be doing a lot of picture gazing.  My little guy is turning 1 at the end of this month.  Can you believe it?  How is that even possible?!  It seems like time has just been moving in a fast forward pace.  I blink and he's doing something new.
 
Let's face it, the first two birthdays really are for the adults, not so much for the little kiddle.  We moms and dads love to have an excuse to get friends together...because it's hard to do that without a birthday being involved. (at least for our family that statement is true) Well, maybe the 2nd becomes about the little one.
 
So, now I'm trying to decide what kind of cake to make for this milestone.  Do I go cupcakes?  Do I go single layer?  Do I go tiered?  Do I follow my sis-in-law's example and make a 100% whole fruit cake?  Or do I just make my personal favorite tiramisu? *hehe*
 
Since I know that I am not the only mom dealing with a 1st birthday party this year, I thought I'd share some of my finds with you.  Hopefully it will either solve another mom's dilemma or stir up inspiration.
 

A Little Gentlemen's Birthday?  Spaceships And Laser Beams had so many wonderful ideas for a stache themed party.  I'm very tempted to give into this trend. 


So, here's my sis-in-law's all fruit non-cake that she made for my nephew's 1st birthday. (Got a glutten issue to deal with?  This is a PERFECT solution. Isn't that amazing?!

'Tis The Night Before Birthday

'Tis the night before birthday and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
The kiddles were out with their Daddy to shop and to dine,
While Momma was home enjoying the quiet time.
Cake batter was flying and coffee was brewing,
The player was ready for some Taming Of The Shrew-ing.


I suppose that this would be the best way to describe my evening...so peaceful. And a chance to actually enjoy one of my favorite old classic Hollywood movies. That Liz Taylor, boy was she great at being a shrew. There's just something so nice about watching her turn from a complete disaster of a woman into a loving and gentle lady...with Richard Burton's help. He cracks me up!
