Cake Fridays

These take me back to when the kids were younger and I would do anything to get them to eat pureed baby food fast.  I don't miss those days of feeding fussy babies super pungent fruits and vegetables out of a jar with the tiniest spoon possible, which made the feeding process go that much longer.  So I would play around with different jarred baby foods when making these mini cakes and the kids would just gobble them up!  I bet if I made them now they would devour them as well.  So whether you have a baby or a toddler, these babycakes are a sure fire way to get your child to eat more pureed fruits and vegetables.  Feel free to use any flavor variety you like :)
