Essentially, you take some air dry clay and roll it out into a thin layer. I placed the clay in between 2 sheets of wax paper so that my rolling pin wouldn’t get too dirty. I still need it to make baked goods with it after all! Next, I stamped an ornate design all over the clay to create a pattern. As you may have noticed, I pressed a bit too hard on the first try, and the stamp stuck to the clay quite a bit....

Why You’ll Love It It tastes ridiculously good. When you use ripe peaches, they add sweetness and a more complex flavor to traditional salsa ingredients, like tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro. It’s easy. Just chop a few ingredients and stir them together! It literally takes 10 minutes of your time to assemble. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for an even more finely-chopped salsa. You’re in charge of the flavor....

But considering the fact that many babies haven’t been introduced to refined sugar, flour, or dairy before that big day, parents might find themselves with a sick or grouchy child if they offer a traditional birthday cake– let alone give the baby a whole cake to play with! Of course, I don’t want to make any parents feel badly about giving their baby a traditional birthday cake, because one special day isn’t going to be a huge deal in the grand scheme of things....
