Pregnant Jesinta Franklin reveals the one thing that nearly derailed her plans for a perfect first birthday for daughter Tullulah

Jesinta Franklin celebrated her daughter Tullulah’s first birthday on Sunday.

Surrounded by friends and family, the model, 29, whipped up a very impressive unicorn cake from scratch for the occasion.

However, Jesinta has now claimed that one thing over the weekend nearly derailed her grand plans to host the perfect party for her little one.

The TV star said that living in a serviced apartment as she and husband Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin wait for their family home to be built had added extra challenges in the lead up to her birthday planning.

‘With limited kitchen accessories (not even a measuring cup or spoons) I settled for cake mix and icing that was jam-packed with more sugar than I could have ever imagine,’ she told The Daily Telegraph on Monday.

Jesinta previously told her Instagram fans that she wanted to make a ‘fabulous healthy cake’, but soon realised motherhood was unpredictable, adding: ‘You just have to go with the flow and as long as you do it with love.’

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.’
