We have seven people in our family and we all have a favorite birthday cake recipe.  My oldest is 17 and it truly has taken this long to find the recipes they each love.

Here they are in birth order.

  1. Eli’s Cheesecake and Cherry Compote – Rick (It’s a toss up between this and the chocolate.)
  2. Glazed Lemon Ricotta Cake – Melissa (The Strawberry Cream Cake is my 2nd.)
  3. Strawberry Cream Cake – Kiera (Although she does like to switch up this batter with boxed strawberry cake too … lol.)
  4. Carrot Cake – Lily (This girl does NOT like icing, but for some reason she loves this cake.  Probably because it’s not super sweet.)
  5. Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing – Charlotte (There is never any competition.  It’s always this one.)
  6. Chocolate / PB Cream Bars – Silas (Someone made it at a potluck and he has wanted it ever since.)
  7. Almond Texas Sheet Cake with Chocolate Icing – Colton (He also really loves the chocolate w/ chocolate version).

Some of the recipes have two pages in the Recipe Book and are divided up on the blog post so you can clearly see what they are.

Here is the picture I use for my “Birthdays” divider page in case you want one too.  Just add your own family picture in Canva, by going to THIS TEMPLATE LINK.

(Each picture will take you to that specific recipe.  Save each recipe image.  I like to print them and keep them in a three ring binder with plastic sleeves and divider tabs.) 

I have also created a KITCHEN BASICS GUIDE for young women.  If you are starting to build up your kitchen supplies, don’t waste your money on sets.  Just get the best of the basics.
