I love celebrating my kids' birthdays but… I hate baking their birthday cakes. So I tried the viral 'Fairy Cob Loaf Dip' — aka the best birthday cake hack ever.
This recipe brings together two of the finest 90s finger foods: cob loaf dip and fairy bread and is part-cake, part-finger food and a whole lot of genius because after the candles have been blown out, there is no serving required.
(And let's be honest, the only thing more painful than baking a birthday cake is having to cut it up afterwards.)
And to really get your childhood tastebuds skipping down memory lane, I also made finger buns with my leftover filling.
