I’m not quite sure how 2022 turned into the year of the Jelly Roll Cake on Planet Byn, but here we are. First up was this Lemon Roll Cake, filled with Raspberry Whipped Cream that I re-made for Easter. Next up was a Banana Bread Roll Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Filling from Smitten Kitchen......
After a couple of years of non-cake birthday cakes, this year I made myself two! First up is this Funfetti Coffee Cake. Funfetti is one of my main birthday food groups, and I’ve had this recipe pinned for ages, so it was finally time to make it! This is a lovely, hydrated, sour cream-based cake......
At long last, I’m documenting my go-to vanilla cake recipe that I’ve been making for over 10 years. I’ve used this recipe for countless birthday cakes, and even two wedding cakes, and it’s never let me down. It tastes great and is nicely hydrated, but most important, it’s sturdy enough for stacking and carving which......
My littlest niece kind of got the short end of the stick when it comes to birthdays: December 30. It’s freezing outside, stuck between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and kind of gets lost in all the other festivities going on. This year, my brother and sister-in-law had the absolutely brilliant idea of celebrating her......
As if I would let a pandemic stop me from making myself a birthday cake! I look forward to this all year, and I didn’t care that I had nowhere to bring the leftovers. I also knew exactly what I wanted to make myself this year. I was a little bit burnt out on layer......
It’s time to talk about my birthday cake for this year! Even though this year was a big birthday number for me (that shall not be named, how dare you), I actually needed to keep my cake relatively quick and simple instead of going all out. For the first time that I can remember, Thanksgiving......
I may have had a bit of an influence on my niece when it came to her birthday cake selection this year. To be fair, we did talk about a few other options, including a Lemon Meringue Mega Cake, so that shows you right there I was trying to be unbiased (I hate citrus desserts!).......
Does this cake look familiar? My niece’s request for her birthday cake this year was awfully similar to last year, with one exception: WINGS. Did you know a Unicorn with wings was called an Alicorn? I sure didn’t, and when I asked “Isn’t that a Pegasus?” I was swiftly corrected: “No Auntie Robyn, a Pegasus......
When it comes to my birthday cake, there are four main food groups I’m interested in: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream Funfetti, also known as RAINBOW BIT I recently made my niece a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake, so I wasn’t feeling that this year.  Plus I made this......
Yesterday was my niece’s 11th birthday, and her birthday request was a Reese’s Cake she saw online (shout out Lizzy T). I took that idea and ran with it, using inspiration from Yo’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake to create this beauty. Here’s how I did it: Baked up the quickest and easiest Chocolate Cake recipe......
