I think it’s fair to say that kids like to make a mess, in fact they revel in such activities. The parents are usually less enthusiastic and impressed by this and normally tries to put a stop to it. However when it comes to birthday parties the rules might change…
There is a certain pleasure in watching a kid (someone else’s!) really dig into a piece of cake with no holds barred, and with no concern. After all, if a one-year old baby chooses to dig both hands into her birthday cake then so be it – it’s her party and she can make a mess if she wants!
This is a good time for Mom to gracefully accept defeat, step aside, and let Little One enjoy the party.

Eventually Baby either finishes the cake, smears it on the camera lens, or just drops it to the floor 🙂
