\u201cThat was like the best cake ever\u201d is a text message that I received from a parent after the boys\u2019 birthday party.\u00a0 \u201cI had to fight myself not to get another piece!\u201d That sentiment seemed to be shared by adults and kids alike because the half sheet cake was completely gone by the end of the party. \u201cIt\u2019s the frosting,\u201d another friend gushed. \u201cIt\u2019s not too sweet. It\u2019s perfect.\u201d While I would love to say that I baked the delicious dessert, I will not tell a lie.<\/p>\n

Since my friend Nancy <\/a>was kind enough to introduce me this particular cake several years ago when my goal was to plan a birthday party on a budget<\/a>, I\u2019m going to share where you<\/strong> can get the cake. I simply bought a plain half sheet cake with white frosting from Stop & Shop in Forest Hills and had them place a YouCake<\/a> custom topper (that I had bought) on top of it. The topper didn\u2019t really change the taste. Rather, it just added a fun element. \u201c I want the SpongeBob shirt piece,\u201d one of the kids said. \u201cI want to eat my head\u201d Sean chimed in. (That would have been a little weird for him to say that at any other time but it made perfect sense in relation to the cake!) The customized cake that practically everyone loved ended up only being $50. The half-sheet cake toppers are $20 and the cake was $30. So, you can have the \u201cbest cake ever\u201d too\u2026for MUCH less than normal NYC bakeries charge for custom birthday cakes. (Thanks Nancy!)<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
