Favorite birthday desserts - is it cake? If you are craving something different to distinguish this namesake from the rest, consider pairing your next level birthday with these palette pleasers. Check out these sweet cake alternatives dominating our favorites list.
Dessert Towers
Topping our list is a pillar of decadence. Towers have been in the birthday circuit for some time now, but we love them most when they’re stacked with melt-in-your-mouth macarons or sweet puffy croquembouche. These Parisian delights are as monumental as the Eiffel itself so pile them high on an elegant cake stand or tray.
Ice Cream Cake
Chilling at our number two spot is a summer baby's dream, the good ole’ American ice cream cake. Making for a great no-bake, layers of flavors, option. This winner is sure to keep everyone staying cool.
Cake Pops
A decadent sphere of cake crumb, frosting, and chocolate; who can turn down these bite-sized babes? Their adorable stature and pop-easy handles let you and your guests just roll with it.
Cheese
No, not exactly cheesecake. It’s more like, let’s say, popping a wheelie. Completely unconventional, the stacked cheese wheel cake comes in at number five on our list. Easy ‘cheesy’, you can accent them with edible flowers, fresh fruit, crackers and preserves. This alternative will have guests experiencing tiers of joy.
Fresh Watermelon Cake
Wrapping up our list is NOT your moms’ fruitcake. Mouth-watering layers of melon topped with lightly whipped cream, fresh berries, and a few sprigs of mint. This juicy detail falls nowhere short of wowing everyone including the choosiest of guests.
Not only are these ideas a refreshing take on birthday treats, but some offer easy-to-set-up options that accommodate various diet restrictions.
