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).
