…h birthday! My mom thought there was something wrong with my making my own birthday cake, but I told her to just enjoy the break. She fixed us a wonderful supper: marinated grilled deer steaks, steamed broccoli, roasted zucchini with parmesan, and cabbage sautéed in buttah. It actually wasn’t a very heavy meal, which was good because the cake was quite filling. I’m really tickled with this cake. It’s the best THM cake I’ve ever made. I know I said…

Whipped Chocolate Buttercream (and my 20th Birthday Cake!)
…mart to eat with the cake in interest of easy (I was already making my own birthday cake and I didn’t want to have to make ice cream too). Carb Smart is approved on the Trim Healthy Mama plan for occasional use; it’s sweetened with Splenda so I don’t like to make a habit of it (and I like my homemade ice cream better anyway), but it’s nice to be able to just pull it out of the freezer on a special occasion. For my birthday meal I marinated deer st…
Peppermint Brownie Ice Cream Cake (And My 21st Birthday)
…rt “emergencies”! It has become my tradition to make a new recipe for each birthday cake, then post it. I usually try not to post recipes that require several steps (and long ingredient lists), but I’m a foodie at heart, and sometimes I like to have an excuse to make and blog something extravagant. If I blog an involved recipe for no reason, I often get flack about it from disgruntled readers, but when I say, “It’s my birthday!” they usually don’t…

5 Ingredient White Cake
…Another awesome reader named Dina Goemaere used Shannon’s tweaks to make a birthday cake, and she gave me permission to post her pictures here to inspire you all. She said she used a round baking dish instead of the 8×8 inch cake pan, and her frosting was made of sweetened whipped cream with some vanilla and praline-truffle extracts. Thanks, Dina! You can pin this recipe from my Desserts board here. You can find this recipe in my cookbook, Necessa…

Hadassah’s First Birthday
…g with regular sugar and flour sometimes for special occasions. Like first birthday smash cakes. I used Claire Saffitz’s Confetti Cake recipe, which made 3 big cake layers. Two of these layers I stacked on top of each other for the adult cake (below). The other layer I cut into small rounds for Hadassah’s cake (above). I made the cream cheese frosting in the recipe above but added some powdered freeze dried strawberries (from Aldi) to flavor and c…
Single-Serve Birthday Cake Ice Cream
…ing and sprinkles. This version doesn’t have sprinkles, and let’s face it: birthday cake ice cream cannot be totally recreated without sugar. It just can’t. But this mostly fills the void that was left when Pet Birthday Cake Ice Cream was cruelly snatched from me (OK, so I shoved it away myself and I’m much healthier for it). You don’t even need an ice cream maker to make this! However, if you’d like to make a larger ice cream maker version, I hav…
