Try changing the “B” to the first letter of your names or change ‘baby” to your kid’s name.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker friend
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it and pat it and mark it with a "B"
And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Let’s have an unbirthday party! Make a birthday cake using a cookbook or make a pretend cake using a box, mud, or play dough. If you don’t have play dough, you can even make your own. Decorate your cakes with stickers, leaves and sticks, sprinkles—it’s up to your imagination. You can make party decorations or hats. Invite the people in your house or your toys to be the guests.
Play Dough Recipe
1 part lotion or conditioner
2 parts cornstarch or flour
Mix well. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Cornstarch makes a softer dough.
