BIRTHDAY CAKE MARTINI
2 ounces cake-flavored vodka
Splash of Godiva white chocolate
or original liqueur
Splash of heavy cream
Whipped cream for garnish
Birthday candle optional
I have many family and friends
with March birthdays. My Mom, Dad, Son, Brother-in-law, and Billy Bush are just
a few of them. We had some family over for my son’s 12thbirthday
tonight and I got some sly smiles when I said that I was serving BIRTHDAY CAKE
MARTINIS. Everyone wanted one, so I got pretty good at making the good looking
cocktail.
To make the BIRTHDAY CAKE MARTINI, you’ll need cake-flavored vodka. Three Olives is the kind I used. I took the vodka and put two ounces into a shaker. I then added a splash — which is a little more than a dash — of Godiva white chocolate liqueur and heavy cream. I filled the shaker with ice, gave it some firm shakes and strained the white creamy mixture into a martini glass. I topped it off with a generous swirl of whipped cream from an aerosol can.
The BIRTHDAY CAKE MARTINI will make you want to celebrate someone’s birthday every day. It tastes and smells just like vanilla cake with frosting. All that was missing was a candle. We quickly made up for that though. But as you can see from the smaller picture, keeping a candle straight in the whipped cream wasn’t so easy.

Hey, this birthday cake is looking outstanding. I also would be hosting a DIY barbecue birthday bash for my son. I will be throwing a bash at one of the venues in Los Angeles and was thinking to design the cake too on my own so this post is going to help me a lot.
