Have your cake and eat it too!

There is something so fun about birthday parties. The idea of getting together with friends, laughing, playing and just celebrating another year is great. Whether your turning 5 or 50, birthdays are a great excuse to celebrate...and of course, eat cake.

In my family, we traditionally make a chocolate cake with grandma's chocolate frosting, but after perusing the Internet for a short amount of time, birthday cakes come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. Here are just a few examples that I found (these are all from pinkcakebox.com):









These cakes are just amazing and would truly be the show piece of any birthday bash. They would be a perfect way to pull together a theme as well.

If you are looking to create something yourself, a quick search at your library could be a great start. My local library (subject: cakes) revealed a plethora of books of ideas and how to's...so, for your next birthday celebration, consider having fun with your cake and eating it too (or just hire a company like pinkcakebox.com to do the work for you)!
