Pregnant Jesinta Franklin celebrates daughter Tullulah’s first birthday by baking an impressive unicorn cake… as she prepares for second child with AFL star husband Buddy Franklin

She’s set to welcome her second child with Sydney Swans star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin in a matter of weeks.

But Jesinta Franklin made sure her daughter Tullulah was the center of attention on Sunday, as she celebrated her very first birthday surrounded by family.

The model, 29, whipped up a very impressive unicorn cake from scratch for the occasion – joking that while she tried to make it ‘healthy’, she ended up with a cake with ‘more sugar that she could ever have imagined’.

‘Kind of sums up my first year of motherhood,’ she joked. ‘You just have to go with the flow and as long as you do it with love, that’s all matters!’

She continued: ‘Lulu didn’t even want a piece of the cake so I’m so glad I didn’t bloody soak cashews to make a vegan cream cheese frosting or waste money on organic ingredients!’

Jesinta added that her mother used to make cakes for her when she was growing up, so she wanted to carry on the tradition for her own family.

She added that the day itself was ‘just so special’.

Jesinta welcomed Tullulah in February last year with husband-of-five-years, Australian rules footballer Lance.

During an interview with Vida Glow in October, Jesinta revealed they are expecting their second child together.

At the time, Jesinta confirmed that she was ‘nearly halfway through’ her pregnancy.

‘It was a very big surprise for us. Tullulah will be getting a sibling at the end of March next year, so she will have just turned one,’ she said.

‘So I’ll have a 13-month[-old] and a newborn, which was very daunting at first. I found out a week after Buddy went into the [AFL] hub, which was all just a lot to deal with at once.’
