[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cake only is totally fine for any party completely between 1 and 5:30. Just mention it on the invite. Many PPs are nuts. I would say that I'd have a serving or two of cake alternative handy (pack of goldfish or an apple, nothing substantial) if you know of any allergies/diabetics/etc (or even if you don't know that there aren't), since you won't have anything else.[/quote]

I wouldn't worry about providing an alternate.  Parents whose kids have special diets will be used to checking on the food situation and may talk to you about bringing their own treat.  If you try to adlib, you may end up stumbling into another situation.  Cake at a birthday party should hardly come as a surprise.  [/quote]

Right but usually there is *something* else for non-cake eaters. If you will have nothing else, I'd have a couple of alternates just in case. Venue unlikely to freak out about 2 packs of goldfish if you explain the kids have allergies or whatever.[/quote]
