It's a very Happy Blog Birthday!
Today I'm celebrating four years of blogging. Sometimes I look back at the work I've done over these past years and wonder - who did that? Did I really bake all those things? Did I really write a book? And am I really writing another one? Yes!
It's a little surreal getting to do the thing you love every day. It's a blessing. I still can't believe it's only been a year since I quit my day job to pursue Sprinkle-Baking full time. I've never been more grateful for this life I have. I thank you for being part of it. ♡
This year's birthday cake definitely spreads the sprinkle-love, but it's no ordinary cake. It's made from one of my favorite sweets on the planet - Rice Krispie treats. I whipped up the biggest batch ever (ever, ever!) to make this triple-layer confection.
It's an easy birthday cake alternative, just make sure to grab your biggest stock pot for the task. I'll admit, it feels a little messy to make (buttering up hands to press the candy into cake pans) but in the end clean-up was a snap. And that's always a good thing!
To spread even more birthday cheer, I'm giving away a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in a color I've been crushing on - pistachio! Isn't it pretty? Sigh.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
*This giveaway is open worldwide.
This sprinkle cake is sure to bring a smile with its burst of color, and who doesn't love delicious vanilla-scented marshmallow Rice Krispie treats? It's really fun for something different birthday-wise. Hope you'll give it a try!
Rice Krispie Treat Sprinkle Cake

Source: Martha Stewart crispy rice recipe, SprinkleBakes frosting recipe
Yield: One 7-inch triple layer cake or one 9-inch double layer cake
Prep: 45 minutes, total time about 2 hours 30 minutes
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 cups/716 g mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons/12 g vanilla extract
13 1/2 ounce box Rice Krispies cereal
Pinch of salt
1 cup/ 220g of unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups/ 275 g confectioners’ sugar - the finest you can find
(usually 10x)
2 teaspoons/ 12g. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Milk or heavy cream, optional
2 cups/436g multicolor jimmies
Multicolor Sixlets candies (about 20 pieces) for decoration
- Grease three 7-inch spring-form pans or two 9-inch pans with butter; set aside.
- For the Krispie treat portion, melt butter in a large pot over low heat (I used my 20 quart lobster pot). Add marshmallow; stir until melted. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir together with a large wooden spoon until all the cereal is coated with marshmallow. Quickly press the cereal into the pans with well-buttered hands. Use a length of wax paper or parchment paper on top of the Krispie mixture to pack it down into the pans. Refrigerate cakes until well chilled and set, about 2 hours.
- For the frosting, mix together the butter and confectioners’ sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Begin mixing on low speed until crumbly, and then increase to high and beat for 3 minutes.Add vanilla bean paste (or extract) and beat again for another minute until light and fluffy. If you find the buttercream is too stiff, you may add milk or heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture is spreading consistency.
- Transfer 1/3 cup frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip; set aside.
- Unmold Krispie treat cakes from the spring-form pans and frost the tops of two cake layers. Stack layers with the unfrosted layer on top; gently press layers together. Pour jimmies into a baking pan with a lip and spread evenly. Frost the sides of the cake with buttercream using an off-set spatula and roll the sides of the cake in the sprinkles. Hold the stacked cake at each unfrosted end as you turn and roll. Stand cake upright in the baking pan. Frost top of cake and sprinkle on jimmies. Press handfuls of jimmies into the top of the cake to coat completely. Allow the excess to fall back into the baking pan.
- Transfer the cake to a cake stand or serving platter using a large metal spatula or cake lifter. Pipe stars along the top edge of the cake with the reserved frosting in the piping bag. Place a Sixlets candy in the center of each piped star. If birthday candles are being used, pipe more frosting onto the center of the cake and stand candles upright in the frosting. Let cake come to room temperature before cutting. Use a large chef's knife to cut the cake into slices.
You seriously just created my DREAM! Love this cake! And a BIG congrats on Sprinkle Bakes turning 4!! Love this blog :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite b-day treat is CHEESECAKE! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I want a bite!
ReplyDeleteI love the sprinkles! So prett!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday alternative is pie! I LOVE pie! I've never been much of a cake person but I could probably eat an entire pie on my own.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake stand in was when we had apple pie for my daughter and son's apple orchard themed birthday party a few year ago. Flavor wise though, cupcakes are hard to beat!!! Especially spiced cakes with creamy frosting. Yumm!
ReplyDeleteLove this cake, perfect for kid's birthday! Would be delicious studded with candies too!
ReplyDeleteI love any kind of cupcake! Just small enough of a serving to get in a little sweet for the day!
ReplyDeleteI just showed this to a co-worker....we are on a mission to make!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday blog. I like cookies
ReplyDeleteWe love pudding cake for birthdays! Super delicious with ice cream :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for four years!!! I hope you continue to impress us with sprinkle signature treats!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! I personally love a birthday tower of See's Candy.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about cupcakes! Just enough sweetness to quell my sweet tooth!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake alternative: birthday cake ice cream. It even has the frosting inside!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! I personally love a birthday tower of See's Candy.
ReplyDeleteI love ice cream cakes. I always wanted one for my birthday. :) I'm hoping one year someone will get me one.
ReplyDeleteCake pops are a bit favorite in my house, but we will be trying this cake soon!
ReplyDeleteI just showed this to a co-worker....we are on a mission to make!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this cake! I definitely need to try it out.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th Birthday!! Love the sprinkles <3
ReplyDeleteAh I love rice crispy treats - they taste like MORE. Beautiful cake - so colourful and chirpy.
ReplyDeleteI love this cake! I definitely need to try it out.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite non-cake birthday treat is baklava! The crisp, the sweet, the chewy ... Excuse me while I go wipe the drool off of my chin.
ReplyDeleteTypically I am a sucker for bday cake. But I could go for epic brownies instead. Or even rice krispie treats! Those are one of my favorites. Never thought to make them into a cake.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous cake!
ReplyDeleteAh I love rice crispy treats - they taste like MORE. The cake is beautiful - so colourful and chirpy.
ReplyDeleteLove The cake!
ReplyDeleteCookies, especially soft baked frosted cookies!
ReplyDeleteThis made me chuckle. We have many small children and we have learned over the years that cake does not always go well. They just eat the toppings or the frosting. So our favorite cake alternative (don't laugh) are donuts. They are cheap and can be custom made per kid. Add a candle or two and viola!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
ReplyDeleteFor a birthday cake alternative I usually choose tarts! fruit tart or chocolate ganache tart or maybe a cheesecake!! I 've never tried brownie cake but a few months ago I made a pancake bday cake!! it was not very pleasing in the eye cause the whipped cream frosting melted but everybody loved the taste! haha
pie! pie pie pie. i love banana and coconut cream pie... so good.
ReplyDeleteI am huge fan of fudge. My mom once made me a three tiered fudge birthday cake. It was amazing, and lasted about two months in my freezer.
ReplyDeleteI am a big blondie fan so if I was looking for a birthday cake alternative blondies would be the way to go. Congratulations on your 4 years!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bday alternative would be cheesecake :)
ReplyDeletethis looks so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely celebration cake! Congratulations on having a beautiful, wonderful blog for FOUR YEARS! Wow! Your posts have inspired many of my baking endeavors! Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteBrittany Adams-Hoffman
Love Love Love this beautiful Cake have a 6th birthday girl in Oct. and this might actually be the one!
ReplyDeletea donut cake! donuts stacked on top of donuts!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cake alternative would be ice cream! Although, rice krispie treats would be a close second. Beautiful decorating!
ReplyDeleteCookies are my favourite! Especially to bring as a gift instead of a cake! ;)
ReplyDeleteapple pie
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cake replacement is apple pie!
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer cookies over cake, any day!
ReplyDeleteI love icecream cake as an alternative! The cookie crumbles in between the chocolate and vanilla layers. That's the best part.
ReplyDeleteI think I would rather eat cheesecake than regular ole cake. In fact, that's just what I did this past birthday. I've never made a cheesecake myself...maybe I need to try it! I love the Krispie Treat cake you made. Sprinkles are such fun and bright and happy little things! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love birthday cakes!!! But if it had to be something else, I would go for cupcakes and cookies because you can decorate them in the theme of the party and make them look pretty :)
Thanks for the worldwide giveaway! The colour is perfect! Love it <3
Maria S.
My favorite birthday cake alternative would have to be pie. Chocolate pie. With lots of whipped cream. And cherries. Happy birthday, SB!
ReplyDeleteI love brownies and pop cakes!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bday plan B is a giant cookie :)) Thank you for this wonderful book and blog that i check almost every week :)
ReplyDeleteOooh what a beauty that cake is!! So much candy crunch. Cake alternative? Well, My mom used to decorate marshmallows stuck onto ritz crackers to look like funny men. Totally ridiculous, totally low brow, always love it.
ReplyDeleteCookies are my favourite! Especially to bring as a gift instead of a cake! ;)
ReplyDeleteSimple AND beautiful ! I love when cakes make me dream, even more with beautiful pictures. I'm pretty simple, I love cakes for birthdays, you can make wonderful decorations with them and let your imagination works to create new flavors. I don't prefer a special type I like to bake a unique cake each time.
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh. We have lots of little kids in our house and we have learned that they would just eat the frosting or the ice cream. So our favorite cake alternative and has become tradition are donuts. They eat the entire thing and can be custom made for each child.
ReplyDeleteI forgot : Happy birthday from Paris !
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh, but our favorite cake alternative are donuts. We have learned that the kids just eat the frosting off of cake but love the entire donut. Go figure. So every year they get a lovely donut with some candles.
ReplyDeleteIf it's for me, cheesecake. For others, cake pops or the person's favorite dessert (some of my friends LOVE my banana bread so I pop a candle in that).
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not doing classic birthday cake its either cheesecake or Blueberry breakfast cake!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake alternative are cupcakes:) A lot of cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing this in a cupcake tin. Seems like it might be slightly less messy for my four-year-old and his classmates.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rice crispy cake! My favorite birthday cake alternative is cheesecake! :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks AMAZING. I like cookie cake, chocolate bundt cake, and ice cream cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to my favorite sweets blog!
ReplyDeleteBecause it was super hard to find especially in the small town I'm from, I used to tell my mom all I wanted was a tub of Yarnell's Sonic Cherry Limeade Sherbet. No baked goods, just that sherbet. It would usually appear, complete with candles on the night of my birthday.
4 YEARS and going strong! Love all the sprinkles.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love the sprinkles! I think after cake I love cookies :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love a big birthday Pizookie!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSeems like it could be a fun "cake" to make during a party, let every one get all hands on deck (as long as they're washed etc, haha)
My Dad used to put chocolate on rice krispie squares when I was a kid, I thought that was genius, tasted it!
I'd love a version of this with chocolate in the middle..maybe...peanut butter?
its got to be a roasted chicken:)!
ReplyDeleteI love brownies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute way to serve rice krispies! Love it!!
ReplyDeletefestive cake!
ReplyDeleteCheesecakes are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteYay and congratulations! I am always so excited to see what you've been baking, and I hope that the experiences of blogging and writing will continue to inspire and fulfill you! Thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteI love birthday cakes, but even a really simple yummy homemade ice cream can do the trick!
ReplyDeleteLove this cake...... Brownies are a perfect alternative... Can frost, leave plain, or even do it with ice cream on top :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy blog-iversary/blog-birthday! 4 wonderful, delicious years to celebrate! Thanks for all the pictures and recipes and the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThese decorations would look so good on a ice cream cake (I'm craving it right now so all I can think of is ice cream) but it looks so nice! I will try bake it this week :) Happy Birthday Sprinkle Bakes
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. I want to make it now. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome cake! Wish I could get my teeth into that cake :)
ReplyDeleteGotta be birthday ice cream sundaes!
ReplyDeleteIce cream! Ice cream makes the world a better place
ReplyDeleteOops, I forgot - my cake alternative is donuts - I live in Austin and we are near the Round Rock donuts - which make donuts the size of cakes! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday treat is any one of the pretty sweets you make. Seriously, These are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite birthday cake alternative would have to be cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting...SO delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy four year anniversary!
They say a party without a cake is just a meeting...
ReplyDeleteBut if I had to pick something else I'd go for cupcakes.
I love cupcakes! Plus I think it's really fun to play with all the flavors
and toppings! Also, you can always get help from your children
and use as much sprinkles as you want! :D
At first, congratulations for your 4 year anniversary of blogging! I like you blog, book and recipes. Even when my English isn't good it is worth to bought your book and practice my language skills plus your writing is so easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteAh, I love your cakes! I wish someone would make me such cute cakes if I have birthday. :( (But my friends & family present me other cute things.<3)
What would be my favourite birthday cake alternative. Mhm, well I am really obsessed with "Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte" (Blackforrest Cerry Cake), but I also like chocolates or cookies. I love everything what tastes good! :o)

regards from Germany,
Anni

ReplyDeleteHappiest blog birthday to you, Heather! You've helped turn me from a girl afraid to make whipped cream to a woman who's whipping up cream pies like there's no tomorrow! In my house growing up, birthday pies were always a favorite - a la mode of course!
ReplyDeleteI would say that my favourite birthday treat is Ice-cream cake, mmm delicious!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeletecup cakes ..cake pop.. any sweet treat..
ReplyDeleteCheesecake is my favorite alternative. Or strawberry shortcake. Both still cakes, I guess, but not traditional birthday cakes.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on four fabulous years of blogging Heather....a true baking inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday alternative is a big fat delicious cupcake especially for the birthday boy/girl. Boxed up all pretty.

ReplyDeleteI love red-velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. This is my ideal birthday treat!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's favorite birthday alternative is cupcakes, but i'm a cheesecake girl all the way!
ReplyDeleteI love guinness cake with cheese cream frosting!!
ReplyDeleteWhoopie pies would be a great alternative! But, the one we've actually done is Banana Pudding...my husband's request.
ReplyDeleteWe've done a few Birthday cake alternatives, cookies, brownies, cheesecake, cobblers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!!!! :) Thanks for all your beautiful creations.
I love a good pie but my main criteria for a birthday treat is that you can stick a candle in it!
ReplyDeleteCookies would be my alternate. I love baking cakes and decorating them but I am really not into eating sweets too much
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake alternative would probably be cupcakes. I know that's not much of an alternative but I've always preferred cupcakes to actual cake. If I'm making a birthday dessert for my boyfriend thought it's always pudding or banana cream pie (they're his favorites).
ReplyDeleteYour rice crispy sprinkle cake is sooo adorable!
Oh my God! I have to make this cake.. I <3 your blog and Happy 4th Birthday <3
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Our alternative is to get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Or tiramisu.
ReplyDeleteyou seriously make the cutest stuff ever! i love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! I love rice krispie treats too, though I never make them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sprinkle Bakes! If I had a birthday cake alternative (which I'm not sure I do....because CAKE) it would be meringue. I've never seen a meringue cake, I might need to try one!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you *sing* wow four years already! I wish you the best for the years to come.
ReplyDeleteIf I have to pass on birthday cakes, cookies or cupcakes are always a welcome alternative.

ReplyDeleteLOVE the cake and the beautiful mixer!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog anniversary! I have loved this blog for a while, so it's an easy WIN WIN when you published a book too! My fav alternative to traditional birthday cakes is a large strawberry shortcake (the biscuit part is a little sweet with some cornmeal in it for a bit of extra crunch) and lots of wonderful sweet whipped cream! As a June birthday, its so perfect and we sometimes use fresh NJ peaches instead of berries!
ReplyDeleteThis is my DREAM birthday cake! Who thinks my non-baker husband can whip this up for my upcoming birthday?! lol :-)
ReplyDeleteMy fav alternative would be cheese cake :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is frosted brownies!!
ReplyDeletei'd eat the screen if I could - it looks so good!
ReplyDeleteKay
I love cookies as a birthday cake alternative!
ReplyDeleteMy fav birthday bake is a passionfruit filled cupcake with a creamcheese & lemon topping. Happy Birthday Sprinkles blog.
ReplyDeleteIn my family we always make "Robin Hood Cake" in a 9x12 pan. It's a chocolate cake from scratch. After the cake is done, we don't frost it. We cut it while it's hot and pour the powdered sugar/butter/milk frosting over each piece as it's served. Doesn't get much better than that. Oh, and every family has a Robin Hood cake pan - dented, bruised and battered but perfect for celebrating!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love all those sprinkles! My favorite alternatives are fresh fruit pie...never baked, so the fruit stays crisp!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Birthday Cake was when a make a chocolate and strawberry , and for the decorations chocolate ganache and sprinkle for my baby a Big Giant Cupcake for her Birthday .
ReplyDeleteThis must be a sign! I have wanted a Kitchen Aid for well over a year and I have dreamed of it being the pistachio green!! Fingers and toes crossed! PS. I LOVE your book, it's got pride of place on my kitchen shelf!
ReplyDeleteCall me old-fashioned, but I like cake for my birthday cake!!! Fluffy and tall, with lots of pink roses or sprinkles like the one above! Happy Birthday and I wish you much success in the future!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake alternative is pie!! (Or at least wedding cake alternative!!)
ReplyDeleteWait, there's an actual alternative to CAKE???!!! Although, I might just be swayed by this fantastic Rice Crispie Cake - it's tremendous!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary! Can't wait to make this cake. It would be great for Christmas with red and green sprinkles, too.
ReplyDeleteI love birthday pie, especially apple with vanilla ice cream! Happy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a pancake cake for a special birthday wake up treat. Doesn't that sound sweet? Just make sure it's topped with plenty of candles :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on four years!! I've used many of your recipes and LOVE them! Your creativity is amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday cake alternative is Tiramisu served with a cup of cappuccino. Happy Birthday and Congratulations!!! :-D

ReplyDeletePS, Happy Blog-iversary! Oh, and while I would LOVE that Mus-tashio Kitchen aid, the shipping on that's gotta be a killer, so just some sprinkles would be lovely ;-) You have the BEST colours in the USA, we're all EU regulated and pale and uninteresting here in the UK! xx
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves brownies, but I'm a blondies girl. :)

Happy Blogging Birthday xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Your blog is amazing! It's a pure pleasure visiting it.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to birthdays it's almost always decorated cupcakes. Me, my family and friends all love these little treats. The huge plus - it's easy to split among people and there's no need for plates :)
Nothing is nicer than an Ice cream cake for a birthday :) Especially with strawberries and of course, lots of sprinkles!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy, I can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI love making cupcakes or cakepops for parties! Something about treats being more "bite size" makes me justify devouring them better. Ha. ;)
ReplyDeleteFlourless chocolate tortes are a favorite in my family ^__^
ReplyDeleteCookies! I haven't had an actual birthday cake in probably 15+ years. I either get a cupcake or cookies since my husband doesn't eat cake and I would end up eating all of it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-Birthday, and many more to come! I can't wait to see what you'll be creating next!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Beautifull cake.. so cute and springy. You're turning 4 years of blogging and i'm just turning my first month.. beggining on this crazy world... hopes you keep going what you doing
ReplyDeleteIce Cream Cake
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks really lovely. I love having ice cream cake for my birthday since its in summer.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI like chocolate cake, but it can be anyone, since done with much love ....
Love that sprinkle cake and happy blog birthday!!! I LOVE CAKE - so the only time I did a cake alternative was for our gluten allergic friend about 14 years ago (before all the food blogs!) and we did a rice krispie cake too - although not nearly as fun as this one! {Pick me! Pick me!}
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-iversary! This sprinkles cake is awesome! I think my favorite alternative "cake" would be pie lol any kind really I just love pie!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4 years!! Wishing you many many sprinkle filled years to come :). My best alternate birthday cake...cookie cakes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, so I didn't have birthdays until I stopped attending meetings at age 16, so we always joke that I'm 16 years younger than I am because of those missed celebrations. I'm pretty happy with any kind of sweet treat on my birthday, but I'm partial to a perfectly cooked piece of Baklava.
ReplyDeleteGRATS on 4 years of creating sweet beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe cake is adorable!!
over the pistachio color! YES, please?!?
Chocolate peanut butter brownies WITH peanut butter frosting! Delicious!!
ReplyDeleteEmily S.
Emspecht@aol.com
I love anything chocolate! Ice cream, truffles, brownies!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of birthday pie, especially mini pies! Just made some mini pumpkin pies for my son's 6-month birthday this month.
ReplyDeleteCheesecake is always my go-to birthday dessert. Strawberry cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteYou weren't kidding when you said lots of sprinkles. That with the rice krispies treats would have me bouncing off the walls.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI love cake or almond tart with soft eggs
Favourite alternative is cup-cakes, if they count! Nice and small for a small celebration! :D
ReplyDeleteLately I have fallen in love with sprinkles so for me any birthday treat with sprinkles is a winner :)
ReplyDelete
