August is my favorite month of the year. Any guesses why? Back to school? Tax free shopping weekend? 8 is an even number? If the title of this post gave it away, YAY!! It’s my birthday month! I have absolutely no problem celebrating my birthday, birth week or birth month! So, I hope you are ready for birthday cake, birthday cake ice cream, whipped cream and sprinkles, because we are about to get birthday-fied up in here!
Birthday Cake Ice Cream Cupcakes
These cute little layered cupcakes are made up of some of my favorite things! Confetti birthday cake! Birthday cake ice cream! Whipped Cream! And Sprinkles!! Despite the fact that my father-in-law swears that I did not serve cake and ice cream at one of the boys’ birthday parties {you all know I would never let that happen, right?!}, cake and ice cream are an absolute must have for parties as far as I am concerned! BUT, I always get a little stressed out trying to cut cake and scoop ice cream at the same time. In Florida, we have a window of about .6 seconds to scoop and serve ice cream before we have ice cream soup. So, birthday cake ice cream cupcakes are the perfect way to serve both in one fell swoop!
I found this genius idea over at Rachel’s place … Bubbly Nature Creations! A few weeks ago, I was browsing my cupcake Pinterest board for birthday inspiration {seriously, what did we DO before Pinterest?}, and there they were!! Her pretty in pink ice cream cupcakes!
I’m pretty sure you can see why they were the brilliant inspiration for a birthday cake version for my birthday! I took a few shortcuts with a cake mix and store bought whipped cream, but I absolutely LOVE the idea of serving ice cream and cake together in cute little cupcake form!
