Birthday Cake Alternatives You Didn’t Know You Needed
Birthdays are a time that should be celebrated in the best way possible. It’s the one day to make someone feel special.
If you’re that friend who loves organizing something new for a close one’s birthday, here are some alternatives to the traditional birthday cakes:
Doughnut Cake
The doughnut has forever been redefined. You can get any flavor you like, in all shapes and sizes you want too. Why not present your friend with a doughnut tower this birthday?
Stack them up with the most doughnuts at the base of the cake and move up from there, removing a doughnut for every new layer. Make an assortment of doughnuts for this cake and place cool candles on the top. It’s easy to make assorted doughnuts since all you need to change up are the frostings once they are kneaded and fried.
This particular cake alternative is great for outdoor birthday celebrations since you don’t have to worry about slicing the cake or needing plates and cutlery. Buy the doughnuts according to the number of people showing up.
Waffled Carrot Cake
Carrot cake is a classic favorite. It’s a denser cake filled with rich spices and a unique texture. But what about a carrot cake waffle? We’re sure you haven’t heard of it before!
Prepare your classic carrot cake batter with cinnamon, walnuts, grated carrots, nutmeg, etc. instead of transferring it to a baking dish; pour a scoop of it into your waffle maker. You’ve now got carrot cake waffles! Generously pour on a thick layer of cream cheese frosting and garnish with pecans or walnuts. Stack them up to look like a traditional cake.
Chocolate Orange Crepe Tower
Chocolate orange is a classic combination. There’s just something about the rich aroma or citrus fruits that pairs so well with the deep flavor of chocolate. To make this cake, prepare a traditional crepe mixture and make 10 to 20 of them, allowing them to cool. Prepare a rich panache with good quality chocolate and a generous portion of orange zest for that added flavor. You could whip this ganache up till it’s light and fluffy for a better consistency or use it as is. Layer each crepe and place this frosting between the layers.
Macaroon Tower
Imagine bringing out this beauty to surprise your friend! A macaroon tower is a dessert fit for a special occasion. Prepare macaroons with our French macaroon mix. Separate the batter into separate bowls to add different food coloring and flavors to it.
