Birthdays are incomplete without cakes.

4 Ways to Turn Leftover Cakes into Delicious Desserts

There are many ways leftover cakes can be turned into delicious desserts. Try the tricks we mention below and make sure that you don’t throw any cake from now on.

• Ice Cream Mix-ins – They are great dessert options especially when you have quite a lot of cake leftover. To make the mix-in, simply turn the cake into crumbs. Fold them into softened ice cream and you will have the sweetest, most delectable DIY dessert.

• Cake Shake – Just the name is enough to make you drool, isn’t it? Making a cake shake is simple – put the stale cake crumbs into the blender (if the frosting is also left, pour it in too), throw in a couple of scoops of ice cream, and just a little bit of milk, and voila! your cake shake is ready!

• Trifle –It is a well-known English dessert made typically with leftover cakes. To make a trifle, you need to layer cake crumbs with custard, fruit, and anything else that goes well with your cake’s flavour. It’s a simple dessert and possibly one of the best ways to eat stale cakes.

 

• Cake Pudding –Don’t want to do too much with your leftover cake? Don’t worry, the cake pudding is the easiest way to finish what’s left over from the birthday cake. Simply add some chocolate sauce over the dried cake and mix it up well in a cup. Pour in some more chocolate sauce and a cherry to finish off! The simplest cake pudding is ready for you!

Can I Use Stale Cakes for Desserts?

Do I Need to Throw the Cake Frosting While Turning the Cake into a Dessert?
The good news is that you don’t need to throw anything when you are transforming an unfinished cake into a dessert. Use the frosting to blend along with cake crumbs, mix them with icecream and you have an easy ice-cream mix ready.
