Lasagna-Like Birthday Cakes

The Birthday Cake Lasagna is a New Take on a Classic Dessert

The 'Birthday Cake Lasagna' from Julianne Bayer's 'No Bake Treats' is a tasty remix on a classic birthday treat.

Every recipe in Bayer's cookbook requires no baking, but this sweet interpretation on lasagna definitely stands out. Layers of pudding, cool whip, Belgian waffle crisps and cream cheese make up this celebratory confection, while rainbow-colored sprinkles add a bit of birthday flair. The Birthday Cake Lasagna was created to be the ultimate cake batter experience, as each bite is filled with birthday cake flavor and sprinkles.

The recipe is essentially an ice box cake, so this is a great cake alternative in the heat of summer. Some skill is required for this recipe, as it calls for homemade pudding, but if you follow the directions closely, it becomes a manageable task.
