angel food cake cupcakes with whipped cream for frosting. You can add some orange zest to the angel food or play around with other flavors. A slice of strawberry on top makes a pretty, tasty decoration.
I would splurge on real whipped cream that you make yourself. No preservatives and a cupcake doesn't have too much frosting on it. You also control the sugar without any artificial stuff.0 -

Ditto! Best site ever!!!0 -
I need a plan for this too, it's my birthday next month haha
My birthday is coming up too and I fantasize about a nice big slice of the most chococaley cheese cake. I fully plan on eating a slice too, I'm just going to be busting my butt at the gym before and after so I feel better about doing it. I figure that your birthday comes once a year and if you've been good, you deserve to celebrate not only your bday but your success as well!0 -
I recently saw an episode of Hungry Girl where she made a Banana Split Pie that looked really good, only 172 calories per serving. It is an ice cream pie so you will need some time to let it freeze. Just do a google search for hungry girl.0

Take a box caked mix and add only a can of diet soda to it and bake. moistest, no oil, no eggs, tastes awesome!
Someone at my school used white cake mix, diet orange soda and mandarin oranges. It was soooo good!0 -
If you still want something totally decadent but not quite so bad as regular cake, how about a flourless dark chocolate cake? They also tend to be so rich that a small sliver will totally satisfy even the most ardent chocolate lover (I speak from experience!).0

This is one of my most favorite cupcake recipes ever - http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/26/persian-love-cupcakes/
If you make 12 cupcakes with this recipe, the cake part by itself is only 64 calories per serving - then ice it with whatever you want. If you're concerned about fat, then maybe mix some rosewater in with Cool Whip or something? But for a special occasion, the whipped cream icing really is amazing, especially with the saffron, and I use less sugar than they call for in the icing.
WITH the whipped cream and pistachios, they are only 154 calories each. They are light and wonderful and the spices are so, so good (and easily interchangeable if you don't like cardamom and saffron).0 -
Fresh fruit tart? Berry shortcake? Fresh fruit and yogurt parfait? Fresh fruit kabob? Fruit pizza?0

Bingo! I tried some healthier cupcakes not to long ago and while they were edible they weren't birthday cake quality. I'll be forty this year and it'll be the first non-obese birthday in years. I'm going to dress up a little, have whatever I want for a birthday dinner, have some cake, get drunk then get up the next morning go back to my healthy routine.0 -
