Sprinkles For Breakfast Baking Tips The Best Birthday Cake Alternatives

The Best Birthday Cake Alternatives

JUMP TO RECIPE PRINT RECIPE

A few weeks ago I told you guys my feelings about birthday cake – I am SUPER into them. Really, I think I just have an affinity for cake in general (photo evidence here) – but in my dessert memories, birthday cakes seem to stand out among the rest.

This most likely due to the fact that literally, no one can judge you for how much cake you eat on your birthday. And in my mind, I roll that rule over into the next when I am eating leftover birthday cake for breakfast.

But I have come to understand that not everyone feels this way about cake. There are people with gluten allergies, milk allergies, egg allergies…you know – legitimate medical stuff like that. And then there are some people who just straight up just don’t like cake. Are those people sociopaths and/or serial killers? I will leave that up to you to decide…

What I am trying to say here is that just because someone can’t have cake on their birthday does not mean they should go without some sort of birthday treat. So, today I have complied a list of my favorite non-birthday cake birthday treats!

Here are my top 5…

1. Birthday Cake Macarons (GF)

2. Chocolate Birthday Cake Doughnuts

3. Chocolate Chip Birthday Cake Cookies

4. Confetti Birthday Cake Pie

5. Waffle Birthday Cake

Here are some other great options…

Birthday Cake Fudge

Rice Krispy Treat Cake (GF)

Confetti Rice Kirspy Treats (GF)

Party Popcorn (GF)

Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls

Chocolate Birthday Cake Doughnuts

Waffle Birthday Cake

Confetti Cake Pops

Birthday Cake Doughnuts

Ok…that is it all I have for now!

Happy Baking!

99% of what I make gets eaten by me or shared with friends or family. But I wanted these guys to last a little longer! So I went with dummies! 🎂

The Women's World Cup is officially here! And I thought what better way to start than with a roundup of USA-inspired desserts that you can eat while you cheer on the @uswnt!

Side note:
8 years ago my mom and I made that first cake to cheer on the USWNT in the 2015 World Cup. (Ok I made it, she just watched lol). She was sick with cancer and really did not feel well, but she loved watching those ladies kick butt! So we spent every moment of that summer glued to the tv screen cheering as the US women took home the trophy. It is one of my favorite memories from the last year I had with her. ❤️

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Here are the products I used from our shop:
@sweetsindeed
- Gold Edible Luster
- White Food Coloring
- Goldmine Sprinklefetti

@cookiecutterkingdom
- Biscuit Cutters

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!

Here are the products I used from our shop:
@sweetsindeed
- Gold Edible Luster
- Black Edible Luster
- Leaf Green Food Coloring
- Orange Food Coloring
- Goldmine Sprinklefetti
