It is believed that the idea of birthday cakes is an age-old tradition passed down from Ancient Greece. Throughout the years the standard birthday cake has gone through some changes, but the tradition remains the same. No matter what flavor or style, mostly everyone indulges in some sort of cake on their birthday.

But what do you get when you combine birthday cake with the best meal of the day — breakfast? Pure heaven, that’s what you get.

Pancakes aren’t just an overlooked breakfast item anymore. Quite the contrary —flapjacks have been on the rise lately and are here to show us that they can be so much more than just breakfast.

One of our favorite YouTubers, Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio, is back at it to show us another irresistible recipe! In this video she shows us how to make birthday cake pancakes with a cream cheese glaze!

She starts off by making the pancakes using: flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk and food coloring — she used deep pink, sky blue, and purple. She whipped up the pancakes then started making the glaze.

Once everything was made she stacked the rainbow-bright pancakes on top of each other, added the glaze and topped it off with sprinkles and a candle!

I don’t know about you , but I would MUCH rather get this on my birthday than a cake. How did I live my whole life not knowing this delicious recipe existed?!
