Celebrate the Power of Birthdays With Amazing Cake Recipes #BirthdaysCount

Birthdays are pretty powerful days that are full of memories. I’ve always loved my birthday.  I make sure I have a cake so I can make my wish! I absolutely love that birthday wish, and I’m not alone! Did you know that 60% of Canadians makes a wish when they blow out the candle? The most important part is that I have my close friends and family  to share it with,  then my birthday is complete. Today we’re sharing our favourite cake recipes for kids and adults! Check them out, then read on for a very special Enbridge 100 Birthdays Video and Twitter Party!

Spectacular Cake Recipes for All Ages

A good birthday cake doesn’t have to be your typical cake with gobs of frosting and happy messages. Our cake recipes think outside the “bought in a grocery store” look. They truly are birthday cakes for all ages, from 1 to 100!

Adorable Birthday Cake Recipes for Kids

Let’s start with something for the kids! Our Outer Space cake is actually MUCH easier to make than it looks. With a few healthier swaps, it’s also better for your than a store-bought cake. Plus it’s pretty cute, don’t you think?

Your favourite little hero will LOVE this super hero cake that finally brings Spiderman and Superman together! It’s the tastiest Marvel/DC crossover ever!

We’re off to see the Wizard with this super easy yet oh-so-pretty Wizard of Oz cake! While it’s perfect for the kiddos, this one could also be spectacular on your grown-up party table too!

Birthday Cakes for the Sophisticated Palate

For the super sophisticated palate, try our pound cake with Mango Chutney Cream Cheese icing!! Add candles around the ring, or place one larger (unscented) candle in the middle for a stunning look.

For autumn birthdays, take advantage of that fall harvest with a delicious upside-down apple cake recipe! Can’t you just feel the sweet apples melting in your mouth?

Our simple yet tasty low-cal pound cake recipe is one of our most popular cakes because you can dress it up any way you want. Of course, it’s also delicious all by itself!
