Nibble Tip
Instead of a birthday cake, consider a platter of cupcakes. Beloved by children and adults alike, they eliminate the need to cut, can provide guests with their favorite (chocolate or vanilla cake, different icings, some Splenda-based for those who can’t have sugar). Even with decorated cupcakes like these, you can leave an unadorned cupcake in the center to hold the candle(s). |
Life is too short to eat average cupcakes. You
may not be able to get to Sprinkles, The Cupcake
Bakery in Beverly Hills (or one of its outposts),
but you can by their cupcake mix at Williams-
Sonoma stores (and the Red Velvet Cupcake is
grrreat!). Visit our Cakes & Cookies Section for
more cake and cookie ideas. For more delicious
dessert ideas, see our Desserts Section.
