These fun little cakes are the perfect shade of pink for a girl's birthday―or just for fun. Use any ice cream or frozen yogurt flavor to tailor it to the guest of honor's preference. You can assemble and freeze the cakes up to a day in advance.

Yellow Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting

View Recipe: Yellow Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting

Here's a moist, buttery dessert that can make any occasion a celebration. It was a favorite with our staffers, receiving top scores for its taste. Fresh edible flowers, such as mums, make an easy, pretty decoration; most people remove the flowers before eating the cake. If you're offering the cake at an informal gathering, serve it right from the pan.
