I love cake and I secretly think Greg does too (at least the carrot or orange cake variety). But this year, he requested an apple crumble instead of a cake for the little dinner party my mom's throwing for him. I recall having a lemon meringue pie stand in as a cake for one of my teenage birthdays, and a friend recently made a Swedish seafood sandwich cake for her husband's birthday because he'd given up sugar for Lent. Here are some other fun options:
A trio of mini tin can cakes?
Maybe a banana loaf?
Or a tray of donuts?
In an office of people with food allergies and vegan preferences, we used to have a watermelon as a cake stand-in for summer bdays. It was fun!
