Best No-Bake Birthday Cakes

Best No-Bake Birthday Cakes

Surprise! There are so many reasons you might want to opt for a no-bake birthday cake this year. From hot summer birthdays to an unnatural obsession with ice cream cakes. I fall into both categories! Another reason is the absolutely amazing array of delicious options for the occasional no-bakers among us. I was inspired by Julianne Bayer's book No-Bake Treats and her many tasty recipes at her blog Beyond Frosting.

Lest you think that the no-bake birthday cake is a cop out from traditional baking and dessert magic, I've taken great care to uncover desserts that will delight the eye, palate and a mob of 6 year olds.
