Birthday Cake Inspiration

Birthdays are the best excuse for baking. I absolutely love baking… so much more than cooking. Every holiday or event I am usually the one offering to make the desserts. But every so often, I try to sneak in an excuse to make something sweet- just because. For me, it’s a good stress reliever, a way to unwind and share something homemade with the people I care about.

Kalyn’s birthday is at the end of the month and I’m already eagerly looking for birthday cake inspiration. This is what I’m drooling over lately:

For me, choosing a recipe to bake is always the hardest part; there are too many delicious choices! I suppose the birthday guy will probably get a say. Either way, I’ll be sure to share the recipe and some photos once it’s finished (you just might have to wait a month). Now- hungry for something sweet? I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist posting these gorgeous cake images!
