Why not have cupcakes instead of a big birthday cake as each child gets a whole cake to take home and they are not too big. There are some good cakes on this link that look simple enough to copyhttp://blog.pinkcakebox.com/1st-birthday-cupcake-tier-2008-07-23.htm

There are lots of fantastic ideas if you scroll down on this linkhttp://www.juniorsociety.com/2007/08/12/a-cupcake-kind-of-day/
You could always arrange them in the shape of a number 1 on a board or put them on a cake stand

Thank you for the brilliant ideas. Went into the Works today and found DK colour books which are also teethers at 2 for £0.99p so I bought a few of them. The cake is a bit of a worry though.

we have a cake shop near to us that hires out tins for a couple of pounds, i hired a number 1 tin from them and they also told me how to decorate it.

Gosh at my DD's 2nd birthday I invited all of her little friends to lunch, telling the parents it was 1 hour. They ate, sandwiches with the crusts cut off of cream cheese or ham. Cucumber sticks, carrot sticks, strawberries & grapes. The sweet treat was a victoria sponge with bright pink butter icing in the middle. I gave chunky crayons to each child instead of a party bag.

The big thing that they all loved for the 20 or so minutes they ran around was balloons. Everyone stayed for about an hour & a half then it was home for a wee nap until we picked up the older children from school.

Very simple and the kids loved it.

You can male a massive square cake then easily cut it into a number 1 shape
I helped my neighbour do one last weekend
Simply snack on the wasted big (yum yum)
We litrally used a ruler (no laughing) and a sharpe lasrge bladed knife
Slpa on ready to roll, smooth down and decoare with choc buttons
