Formal Masks For Wedding Parties & Guests

Your wedding day is all about love. With Coronavirus currently on the rise, a lovely way to show some love, is to wear a mask. Though everything is fluid with the pandemic, at this moment, only ten states have lifted the mask mandates. So it is safe to say that everyone involved in most states, will need a mask on when entering the church, a hotel, the restaurant, a cab, an uber car, etc. This montage of masks will get you down the aisle in style. Spread love, not germs.

Bake Me A Cake: Birthday Cake Recipes & Accessories

It's my birthday, and I plan on eating cake. As Kate Spade suggests, I may even eat some for breakfast. Everyday is someone's birthday. Why not surprise them by baking a cake? This recipe roundup will make anyone feel special. I have added some chic candles and cake toppers for even more fun.

Be ready to celebrate!

Baked Alaska St. Pierre

A little known fact - Baked Alaska is one of my favorite all time desserts. I haven't had it too many times, but when I have at Chicago's famed Pump Room, or at NYC'S Rainbow Room, it was memorable. In this case, it is an orange scented cake, layered with vanilla ice cream and orange sorbet, covered in meringue, then set on fire. WOW!

Epicurious

Funfetti Birthday Cake

The perfect ending to any birthday celebration. What fun!

Cooking Classy

Personalized Birthday Candles

These will make anyone feel special.

Lemon Cake

A chocolate cake will always be my first choice, but lemon comes in second place. This recipe is said to be moist and zingy with a mascarpone filling. The frosting is a lemon Swiss buttercream. Oh my!
Preppy Kitchen

Wire Cake Topper

YAY is for everyone and every occasion. It comes in every color under the sun. You will be able to use it year after year.

Fluffy and Moist Coconut Cake
My Father's favorite, and Mom made it often. This recipe calls for coconut milk which creates an extra intense coconut flavor.

Sally's Baking Addiction

Birthday Cake Shot

No, it's not actually cake, but it will taste like it. Made with whipped vodka, frosting ( for the rims ) sprinkles, white chocolate liquor, and Frangelico.

Cheers to all the years!

Inspired By Charm

Chocolate Coconut Raspberry Cake

Vegan and Gluten Free

This cake certainly is gorgeous enough to be celebration worthy. The fact that it is gluten free, makes it even better. And that fluffy frosting and dripped ganache makes this one over the top recipe.

Red Wine Chocolate Cake For Two

I believe that I have posted this cake before, but it is too good not to do it again. The red wine actually intensifies the taste of chocolate. The cake to frosting ratio is perfect!

I watch carbs almost every day of the year, but my birthday is not one of those days. If you do, however, I bow down to you. Enjoy this delicious sounding recipe with lemon whipped cream frosting and and sugar free raspberry jam filling.
Low Carb Maven

German Chocolate Cake

This cake brings me back to the days when I baked one each year for my father-in-law's birthday. Mine wasn't this pretty, but he loved it. In this case, it is the sweet pecan and coconut filling that makes this cake so special.

Liv For Cake

Gold Star Candles
Make sure that their star shines the brightest on their special day. Great for cupcakes or cakes.
