Quite frankly, it’s not a birthday without birthday cake. However, the traditional round layered cake can get rather boring year after year. So, here are some quirky suggestions on how to celebrate your favorite birthday of the year.

YOUR OWN, obviously!

But in this particular case, its was my husband’s. He’s been extraordinarily spectacular, thus he gets all three cakes this year for his birthday… which was yesterday, just in case you were wondering.

But enough about him, on to the cakes!

The Donut Cake

For those who have a fondness of deep-fried dough covered in sweet sugary goodness. This one’s right up your donut hole. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

The Cup[cake²]

For those who can’t make a decision or just enjoy a variety of cake for your birthday. Why choose one, when you can have three? Why not a dozen mini cupcakes? Who needs to make choices when you can have them all!

The Slice Cake

For when a whole cake is too much, but it’d be an insult to tradition if you didn’t have some type of layered cake for your birthday. Just because it’s a single slice doesn’t mean it can’t be festive! So, throw some sparkle on it and voila!
