Usually, the birthday cake is the main part of a birthday party. Whether this is a party with adults or one for your children, you typically slice up a cake and distribute it around to everyone.
This might sound controversial, but birthday cakes can sometimes be a letdown. For starters, you need to find a cake that everyone loves. Some people might love a traditional birthday cake, while others only like chocolate cake. There are so many people to please, and one cake can rarely do it. Plus, you have to cut the cake, which can be a big pain, and you need to ensure everyone has an even slice.
Instead, why don’t you consider offering something a little different? You have cake all the time, so here are a few tasty birthday cake alternatives that are definitely easier to share at parties:

My favourite bread brand Jason’s Sourdough, creators of the artisan sourdough sliced loaf, and food stylist Jemma Loi have teamed up to create a romantic and tasty Stewed Fruit Toast recipe, using Jason’s White Ciabattin.
This is the perfect breakfast to make for that special person on Valentine’s morning, showing them how much you really love them. Or, whip up for a delicious weekend treat for all the family to enjoy. The recipe is easily adaptable, meaning you can substitute any of the fruits for whatever you have to hand. What’s more, you can put a healthy spin on the recipe by using Jason’s Grains and Seeds Ciabattin!

This recipe that has been kindly donated to London Mums, was created in partnership with nutritionist Lily Soutter. A burger with health benefits – what’s not to love? As well as packing in at least 2 of our 5-a-day, these burgers come with a delicious dose of plant-based protein and fibre. The granola helps bind the burger together whilst adding in a source of slow-release carbohydrates and fibre.
