They aren't super sweet. </p> <p>Or banana bread....you can cut some sugar out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101712 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:54:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 1101712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to make peanut butter rice crispy bars, but with LO's allergy won't be able too. I need to come up with a new treat! He does love ice cream cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101702 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:48:35 +0000 skipra 1101702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to give DS too much sugar in his birthday cake so I made a coconut loaf into cupcakes. Not too sweet at all, but really yummy. You could just put fresh whipped cream not too heavily sweetened on top? I got the recipe from the Sprouted Kitchen cookbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101672 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:28:33 +0000 swurlygurl 1101672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: It failed for me too!

How about a mini "cheese cake"- the trend that is popular at weddings? Just one or two rounds/tiers of whatever cheese he likes, decorated in fruit etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101631 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:11:07 +0000 sandy 1101631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can make homemade cream puffs and make the filling not very sweet (maybe just whipped cream) or make a slightly sweet vanilla whipped cream filling. Then you can assemble it into a tower or small cake shape </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101173 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:46:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 1101173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Bahaha!

I've seen cute blog posts where people cut a watermelon into a cake shape and decorate it with other fruit and that is really cute. Or um... make him a meatloaf and frost it with mashed potatoes? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-bake-for-a-birthday-boygirl-that-doesnt-like-sweets#post-1101098 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:21:18 +0000 regberadaisy 1101098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is NOT a sweets fan at all. But birthday "cakes" are important to me so I "bake" him something every year! I usually find a VERY light, no sugar, no frosting, et al recipe. Sometimes I do pie because he likes certain pies.</p> <p>His birthday is coming up in a few weeks so I need new ideas!</p> <p>What do you "bake" for a birthday boy/girl that doesn't like sweets? </p>
