Birthday Cakes You Can Bake Or Order For Your Loved Ones Based On Their Zodiac Sign!

Ordering cakes for someone's birthday is typically confusing- what flavour should you pick? what should be the theme? what kind of frosting would that person like? Well, we're making your job easier by telling you exactly what sort of cake your friend/family member would like based on their Zodiac sign! You can either bake it at home (we're still in lockdown, so yeah) or order if the flavour is available.

1. Aries (March 21- April 19): Chocolate Lava Cake

This Zodiac sign is all about surprises and adventure, so molten chocolate oozing out of a cake would definitely put a huge smile on their face. Order a Chocolate Lava Cake or make it at home if you have an Aries friend of loved one!

2. Taurus (April 20- May 20): A Mousse Cake

Yep, that's cause Taureans like to relax and prefer peaceful settings over too much noise and party. So, there is a high chance that they will appreciate a soft, succulent mousse cake in any flavour. You could go for a classic chocolate one with a dash of liqueur, or a lemon or pineapple one, depending on how well you know the taste buds of your friend.

Order from: Whipped, GK 2 (their Kahlua Mousse Cake is to die for!)

3. Gemini (May 21- June 20): A Tiramisu Layer Cake

It is the trait of the Gemini to try and attempt multiple things at the same time. No one will disagree. Hence we choose a layered Tiramisu birthday cake for them, because well, it has layers to it (duh). Also, a Gemini would never say no to some alcohol in their dessert because they're party animals by nature (well at least most of the time). If you're making a Tiramisu cake at home, you would need 1 pack moist cake mix (white), instant coffee powder, coffee, coffee flavoured liqueur, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate.

4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Pineapple (OR Mango) Upside Down Cake

Cancer sign people usually have the tendency to embrace comforting and homely things. Which is why a mango or pineapple upside down cake made for them from scratch would probably make them ecstatic!

5. Leo (July 23 - August 22): Red Velvet Cheesecake

This sign loves cheesecakes, especially Red Velvet, so what better occasion than their birthday to bake or order it for them? Now, Red Velvet Cheesecakes are quite easily available at most bakeries (though some may do a shabby job of them), but if you're feeling ambitious, you could try and bake it at home too. Here's broadly a list of ingredients you would need: 17-18 crushed Oreo cookies, butter, sugar, 3 packs of cream cheese, sour cream, butter milk, baking cocoa, vanilla extract, eggs, red food colouring and confectioner's sugar.

6. Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Moist Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Virgos are all about perfection. They love details and have super analytical skills. Hence, a carrot cake is ideal for them because it requires the artful blending of all ingredients, evenly spread smooth and velvety butter cream and just the right count of chopped roasted nuts!

7. Libra (September 23 - October 22): Salted Caramel Cake

A Libran hates conflicts and loves peace. Symmetry, scales and balance hold a lot of significance in this Zodiac sign's life. So, the blend of salted and sweet flavours might be the perfect choice of cake for a Libran friend!

Order from: Whipped.

8. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Devil's Chocolate Cake

A Scorpion pitches for all or nothing. Seriously. They have a strong point of view on literally everything and it is kind of difficult to win an argument with them. So, when they tell you they need a gooey chocolate cake, it better be the most rich and decadent one ever.

Order From: Sugarama Patisserie

9. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Tres Leches Cake

This Zodiac sign loves to travel and most of their food choices are inspired from these foreign lands. Of course, nothing less than a Tres Leches Cake would do it for them on their birthday then, right? While it is sort of available at select bakeries (or you can get one made from a customised baker), attempting it at home might not be too bad either. Ingredients you ask? Well, here's the list: eggs, sugar, flour, some salt, whipping cream, evaporated milk, condensed sweet milk, vanilla extract, rum extract (not too much in case you got excited), fresh sliced strawberries or Dulche de Leche.

10. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Nutella Cheesecake

A Capricorn is responsible as F, and has the rare ability to move from practical to emotional spaces in a very smooth manner. That spells a Nutella Cheesecake for us. Always dependable yet flavourful, with a solid layer of depth.

Order from: Whipped or Baked Love By Vatsala (call  +91 8588819200)

11. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Black Forest Cake

Okay, we're not saying you're old-fashioned, but we are saying that old is gold. Uh huh. With all its fluffiness, delicate vanilla layers in between a chocolate sponge cake, creamy frosting, cherries on top and choco flakes on the side, this came never lets you down, much like an Aquarius.

Order from: Theobroma.

12. Pisces (February 19 - March 20): A Rainbow Cake

Yes, Pisceans are creative, inspirational and arty, so you don't have to think twice before giving them a Rainbow Cake for their birthday. Or do think twice, because they might also like a Coffee-Chocolate Cake with some arty work on top like beautifully cut-out flowers or butterflies. You know your friends and family better.
