Best Birthday Cupcake Cakes

I love cute Birthday Pull Apart Cupcake Cakes! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good regular old cake, but for some reason cupcakes make me happy.

Birthday cakes are the highlight of any party, why not make yours the most adorable pull apart cupcake cake ever? Making a pull apart cake with cupcakes is a fun and easy alternative to the traditional birthday cake.

  1. I just added the ingredients on my shopping list so I can try out the Flamingo cupcake cake! I seriously can’t get over how adorable it is. Perfect for a summer pool party theme.

  2. These cupcakes/frosting were perfect for the kiddos at a party I recently attended. I made mine mini cupcakes-flavor was spot on! They were gobbled up in no time at all. Thank you for sharing this recipe

  3. Hello, I just was looking at your blog post about pull apart cupcake cakes and i have a cousin who loves hello kitty and I wanted to make her one similar to the one you posted for her birthday. My question is what size cake board did you use? And is it a size that I can find an appropriate size box to transport it in? I’m never made one of these before and not sure how to transport it.
