There's no denying that birthday cakes are delicious and an absolute must at every party, but that doesn't mean that they have to be boring, and these birthday cake creations show how to spice up your birthday party go-to.
From birthday cakes shaped like guns, Star Wars characters or even a plateful of sushi, there is sure to be a bakery near you that specializes in making unique shapes. If you want to forgo the cake ritual altogether, perhaps you might be more interested in a cake vodka milkshake or Birthday Cake Oreos.
There's nothing more fun than blowing out the candles on your birthday cake, and these birthday cake creations will certainly make the moment that much more special.
