Did someone say cake? Did someone say birthday? We are loving this post, by our sister site The Kitchn, which features 14 birthday cake recipes. With our son's birthday in a few months, this handy post gives us plenty to think about.

Layers, Icing, and Sprinkles: 14 Birthday Cakes features recipes for:

• 1 Ruffle Tower Cake
• 2 Sponge Cake with Chocolate Frosting
• 3 Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Cream Frosting
• 4 Dorie's Perfect Party Cake
• 5 Oreo Cake
• 6 Bee's Dot Cake
• 7 Deep Dark Chocolate Cake
• 8 Harvest Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting
• 9 Ultimate Coconut Cake
• 10 Martha's Birthday Cake
• 11 Mile-High White Chocolate Hummingbird Cake
• 12 Toffee Crunch Cake
• 13 Orange-Carrot Cake with Classic Cream Cheese Frosting
• 14 Dolley Madison Layer Cake

In order to have the perfect cake for his birthday, we think it's in our best interest to make as MANY as these beforehand and do a proper taste test, don't you?
