Happy Birthday to You

 

Life isn’t all about fashion, sometimes we have to tickle our other senses as well. How about dessert =)
Looking to make your birthday complete? Here are some awesome birthday cake ideas and bakeries that will make your birthday unforgettable…

If it’s a special birthday like the big 3 0 or sweet 16, make an awesome cake in the shape of the numbers like SusieCakes located here in L.A.

Love music, entertainment, or the movies? Pick a theme and mock it on top of a layered chocolate cake. Sweet Lady Jane’s Bakery might have some great ideas.

Have an obsession with cars? Have the emblem of a BMW or Lexus drawn on top of your Red Velvet cake.

 

 But if cars don’t do it for you and it’s Hello Kitty that you’re in love with, try making a Hello Kitty shaped cake. Bake a marble cake, stack it and trim it using a Hello Kitty template that you can print online. Or better yet, got booty? Have yourself a pirate themed cake with gold coins and all.

Looking for a challenge? Or secretly want to become the next Duff? Try baking a themed layered or uneven cake. Here are some great examples:
Charm City Cakes
Rosebud Cakes
Jamaica Cakes

Phoenix Bakery in Chinatown has their famous strawberry whipped cream cake. Try having a filled cake with fruit or layering fruit on top of a regular vanilla cake. Adding toppings to any plain cake will make the crowd go wild.

If you have a healthier sweet tooth, make a light carrot cake or a fruit tart.

Maybe you’re feeling a little dangerous? Why don’t you skip the traditional cake and bake yourself some yummy cupcakes! Sprinkles Cupcakes might give you some great ideas for flavors to spice things up.

If you’re not a huge cake fan, cheesecake might do the trick. This is a great way to celebrate and enjoy a good dessert.
