OK, you'll hate this, but here's what I want from a cake that comes to kindy/childcare:

* No bright colours. In fact, I prefer no colours at all.
* If it's decorated, do it with dried fruit and maybe glace cherries. Prefer no lollies.
* Definitely no nuts. Prefer no egg as well.
* As natural and sugar-free as possible
* Large cake that is to be cut so that teachers control the portion size. Enormous cupcakes are a nightmare for us.

Sorry!
