Healthy birthday cakes have become a thing now that there are more health conscious parents in this generation. But come on, birthday’s are supposed to be fun so who would want a birthday cake that’s healthy but tastes like grass?
I remember attending a birthday party for a two-year-old whose parents are health freaks and I think they went overboard by serving a wheat grass birthday cake. Trust me, the cake looked like a field from the game Minecraft even though the game didn’t exist back then.
I’m sure glad super scrumptious healthy birthday cakes are possible now! And I’m sure the kids who have health freak parents are as happy as I am!
