Make a small cake recipe from scratch to celebrate a birthday at home or an anniversary!  When I first started this site, in 2010, I simply had the idea that most people don’t need a giant 3-layer cake on the counter or 4 dozen cookies leftover.I knew that I wanted to scale down everyone’s favorite desserts into smaller portions so that we could enjoy them more often.My first cookbook, Dessert for Two, is full of every dessert we all know and love, scaled down to make 2-3 servings.

It was an absolute joy to create the recipes.I always knew that I didn’t want to wait for my birthday to enjoy a funfetti cake; I wanted a 6 inch birthday cake full of sprinkles and topped with fluffy white frosting that I could make anytime I pleased.I didn’t want to wait until I had a big party to enjoy an enormous Texas chocolate sheet cake, so I made a Texas chocolate quarter sheet cake.

You probably see what I mean by now:  when cakes are smaller, we can make them more frequently! We can make them as a small gift to a friend or coworker.When I worked in the corporate world, I used to love making someone’s day by placing a small batch of cupcakes or a mini 6 inch cake on their desk.The company would buy the giant flavorless sheet cake for everyone to share, and I loved that the special birthday person got to enjoy their own cake later at home.
