We're all for birthday indulgences, but sometimes throwing caution (and nutrition) to the wind doesn't make for the happiest of birthdays. Whether you have dietary restrictions or just wanna try something a little wilder this year, consider these 20 dessert recipes our birthday gift to you. You're welcome! We should warn you though… the volume of sprinkles in this post might just break a record (hey, when we party, we party hard).
