Okay so the Birthday Loaf is actually kind of genius. It's still a tender, fluffy, sweet birthday cake with loads of sprinkles mixed in and creamy frosting on top, but it's served in loaf-form. That means it slices beautifully (so much easier for sharing) and in a way that makes it very easy to use the cake slices like sandwich slices. Imagine using Birthday Loaf to make an ice cream sandwich! Trust us, this is a charming and tasty variation of the typical birthday cake!
