Baking a cake from scratch might seem overwhelming but with the right recipe, it can actually be stress-free and fun. From cupcakes to crêpe cake, Mary Berg has four foolproof cake recipes to make sure any celebration is a hit.

S'mores cupcakes

Topped with a uniquely wonderfully fluffy marshmallow frosting, graham cracker crumbs, and extra chocolate bar pieces, these S’mores Cupcakes will bring back memories of summertime, camping, and campfires.

Birthday sheet cake

Use this cake recipe as a birthday sheet cake or for any time you crave a simple classic dessert. Top the cake with whipped chocolate frosting, made from butter, icing sugar, and espresso powder and whipped until extra fluffy.

Strawberry lemon crêpe cake

If you like crêpes, you’ll love this French Mille-inspired crepes cake! This delicious cake is comprised of tender crepes, a luscious lemon whipped cream filling in-between each and every layer, and topped with fresh strawberries.

Cereal treat cake

With the crispy rice cereal and the fluffy vanilla buttercream, this is pretty much the cake of our childhood dreams, and dare we say better than a traditional birthday cake!
