bday baking ideas

hiii bakers.

so we have a friend in town who's bday was Thurs, and I have a bday party for another friend tomorrow night (funny how we go weeks with literally no activities and this weekend is jam packed).

any ideas? For friend A, I am looking for something speedy since I won't be home till 730 or 8 (train to PA since C is already there). For Friend B, I can do a little better - its a suprise 30th and I told his wife I'd bring a dessert - but will really only have 90 min or so b/c we have our first house showing tomorrow am.

The house showing really kinked my schedule.

    Chick pea chocolate cake- I'm making it tonight.

    It's really fun to dress up or leave plain.

    You could add strawberries (or any berry) in kind of a syrup-y topping.

    Or make a frosting. Or like me I'm making homemade coffee whipped cream

  • That's actually a pretty 'healthy' cake. 

    I just ran it through the WW recipe builder and if you divide it into 10 pieces it's just over 7 points a piece.  For a cake that's pretty good!  I might have to give that a try especially since I'm wondering if I have a gluten intolerance.

  • If you don't feel like baking (since you're short on time), the Genuardi's down the street from me has these amazing little brownie bites in the bakery.  I tend to prefer homemade, but these things are amazing!  Brendan found them last weekend, and I got another box to take to my friend who just had the baby.

  • Not fancy at all, but speedy. Cake mix cookies. They are fun bc you can add mix-ins like PB chips etc. I like choco cake withtoffe chips. There are tons of combos you could do and you could make a few different kinds depending how many people will be there. Google the recipe. I think ut is 2 eggs and 1/3 c oil per box.
  • christina that sounds good!! i definately need to try it.

    good point becky. i might have to pick something up for tomorrow since i cant exactly trash my kitchen before the showing. i do like genuardis bakery.

    If you like the brownie idea, here's the info: they're in a clear plastic box with a yellow label.  We don't have any ice cream at home, but they'd be amazing with a little scoop on top.  And cute, too. They're about the size and shape if they were baked in a mini cupcake/muffin pan.
