How to Make a Birthday Cake Shake

People of all ages drink birthday cake shakes.

Companies like Cold Stone Creamery, Zaxby's and Millions of Milkshakes have made the birthday cake shake -- pieces of cake and ice cream mixed together -- a popular dessert. While this recipe uses the traditional yellow cake flavor, the drink lends itself to countless variations. You can stick with one flavor of cake and ice cream -- like chocolate or strawberry -- or you can blend different flavors together, like chocolate cake with banana ice cream.
