Hey! I'm Taryn. Welcome to our blog. I cant wait to sprinkle a little fun into your kitchen with you!
If you love light, fluffy frosting with that nostalgic birthday cake flavor, this Whipped Birthday Cake Mousse Frosting is a must-try. Made with whipped cream, a hint of almond, and colorful sprinkles, it’s perfect for topping cupcakes, layering cakes, or serving as a sweet dip. Quick to make and fun to eat—this one’s full of fun!
I originally made this frosting for a birthday cake cookie and wanted something that felt light, smooth, and not too heavy. Birthday cake flavors can sometimes be overly sweet, but this one hits the perfect balance—sweet enough to feel festive, but not over the top.
It’s soft, fluffy, and has that nostalgic birthday cake flavor without being overwhelming. If you want a little extra crunch (and color!), go ahead and stir in some rainbow sprinkles. Totally optional, but highly recommend them, wink wink.
If you need a second opinion, my nephew Brayden gave it a solid 10/10—so yes, it’s definitely kid-approved. And if your little ones love fun flavors, stay tuned… I’ve got more kid-friendly combos coming your way soon!
This frosting is super easy to pipe. I just used a piping bag, snipped the tip, and it swirled beautifully onto cookies and cupcakes. No fancy tools needed—just cut and go!
Q: What does this frosting taste like?
A: It tastes like classic birthday cake—light, sweet, and slightly nostalgic—with vanilla, almond, and creamy mousse textures.

A: Yes! You can make it up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to use.
Q: Can I use a different flavor pudding mix?
A: Absolutely! Try cheesecake, white chocolate, or even banana cream for a fun twist.

A: It’s best fresh, but you can freeze it for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge and re-whip lightly if needed.
Q: How much frosting does this recipe make?

Ever just feel like throwing a party for no reason? That’s what an unbirthday is all about—celebrating just because. Set the vibe with some fun decorations, mismatched plates, a few friends (or your kids!) I highly suggest making cake mix cookies topped with this Whipped Birthday Cake Mousse Frosting. It’s super fluffy, tastes like birthday cake, and it’s perfect for cupcakes, cookies, or honestly just grabbing a spoon and digging in.
