It’s the culmination of the entire birthday experience. Everyone stays long enough to sneak a peek. It’s the one thing your child’s friends will remember even after the party is over.
We’re speaking, of course, of the birthday cake! Although not lucky enough to taste test every one of the following selections, they come highly recommended, and in most cases, even deliver to your door. Harried parents will be grateful for one less item on their birthday checklist.
So sit back, let your mouth water, and choose the most delicious cake to mark your child’s shift into a new age!
Order at least five days in advance to ensure your confetti color is in stock

Pantry’s Best selections range from solar systems to under the sea
Pantry’s Best
If your party is outside or decoration time is sparse, Pantry’s Best’s cake selections can truly transform an okay space into a magical delight. The textures in their Interstellar Tour Mini Cupcake Set take you out of this world, even before you notice how the main planetary cake is surrounded by other planets, moons, and asteroids. You’ll never think of crab cakes the same way after seeing their Cancer Sea Salt Lychee Cake with cream cheese made from Mascarpone in Italy. Take time to enjoy the descriptions of their delectable offerings on their site, which are as poetic as the cakes themselves.
