What can you use instead of a birthday cake at a party?!
My dad's 50th birthday is coming up, we have organised a surprise dinner at an exclusive restaurant!. The dessert at this restaurant is fantastic and we have opted not to have a birthday cake for this reason!. I feel as though one of the main celebratory components of the birthday party is missing without the cake - it feels less personal and special!.
Is there something else I can do or use in place of the birthday cake!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
If everyone/most people going are of drinking age, you can ask the restaurant to mix up a special cocktail in honor of your dad!. You can find a recipe you like online, see if they have a suggestion, or if you are good at mixing drinks, maybe you can invent one yourself!. If your dad has a favorite you could use that!. If drinking is out, maybe you could ask them to do something festive with the dessert, like write "Happy 50th" in chocolate around each dessert plate, or put a lit candle in each dessert!. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think that the "festivity" of birthday cake comes from the whole solidarity factor!? The fact that everyone's eating the same thing at the same time, in honor of that particular celebration, and that it's not an every-day thing!. So, I think you can capture that same effect with any food/drink, as long as it's special enough!. I think almost anything on the menu of such a restaurant would probably apply; you could have a special appetizer or dessert for everyone there and it would be like having bd cake, in my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How about just A cupcake for your dad!? with one candle in it!? Then you can sing, he can blow out the candle and then the next day you can all eat the cupcakes at home:)Www@FoodAQ@Com
At my birthday we had these things called a pazzuki! They are Giant cookies with ice cream on top of it!. Its vetry good!. Just make a batch of giant cookies and chose your type of ice cream!. Easy and delicious!Www@FoodAQ@Com
A lot of restaurants frown on bringing in your own desserts or will charge a cutting/plating fee!.
