BIRTHDAY CAKE FLAVORED RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese, softened butter and 1/2 cup of the frosting with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until well blended; scrape side of bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. On low speed, beat in cake mix until blended. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sprinkles. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 1/2 cup frosting uncovered on High 5 to 10 seconds, stirring until melted and smooth. Drizzle with fork over tops of cookies. Add remaining sprinkles over tops. Let stand until frosting is set, about 1 1/2 hours. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Microwave butter for 25 to 30 seconds, or until fully melted. Place pretzel nuggets in a large mixing bowl, then pour on the melted butter and toss with cake mix to coat. Pour the nuggets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and add rainbow sprinkles on top (mixing the sprinkles in with the melted butter will cause the colors to run, resulting in grayish purple-streaked nuggets—not so delish). Bake in the oven for 5 minutes and serve warm.
