10 Of The Cutest Happy Birthday Cakes You Can Order Online
Celebrate with a cute cake!
Getty Ah. Birthday cake. It’s one of those wonderful things that makes getting older a little more bearable.
When it comes to celebrating, a cute happy birthday cake that shows off the bday guy or gal's personality — and totally suits his or her tastes — is a must.
But baking a birthday cake isn't always your best bet. It's time-consuming, hard to transport in one piece, and can turn out looking... less than perfect. (Remember that barely legible "Happy Birthday" you piped onto your best friend's cake last year? Yep.)
That's why ordering a cute happy birthday cake online — and having it shipped to either your home or directly to the recipient — is a way easier option. Plus, it's guaranteed to taste good and look great!
