The last time I celebrated my birthday, a friend asked what type of cake I’d like, and I said, “Anything will do.” When the cake arrived, another super annoying friend, who came to spend the day with me, commented, “It’s giving low-budget traditional wedding cake.” God, abeg.

Don’t be like me. Whether you’re paying for the cake or someone’s offering to send you one, you should know what you want. If you don’t, these birthday cake designs from Meta’s AI should inspire you.

January

There’s a colour riot going on here, and I can’t say AI ate with this design. But at least no one will mistake it for a wedding cake.

February

Is it just me, or is a two-tier cake too much for a birthday celebration, especially in this Tinubu economy?

March

This birthday cake design isn’t bad. The strawberries and blueberries are definitely a nice touch.

April

Looking at this cake, my only question is: Will Nigerian bakers come through with that lion head design?

May

This cake looks basic AF, but it’s also a decent design for anyone who doesn’t give a shit about birthdays.

June

I can’t pinpoint exactly what makes this cake pleasing to look at, but yes to it.

July

I’ll laugh my ass off for 30 minutes straight if anyone shows up with a cake that has my head on it. But yeah, a lot is going on with this cake.

August

August-borns, y’all heard AI. Your birthday cake should have a hyper-realistic carving of your face on it.

September

Okay, remember the birthday cake that made my friend say, “It’s giving low-budget traditional wedding cake”? This cake has a strong resemblance to it.

October

AI, please now. Why does anyone need a four-tier multicolour cake for their birthday? This only makes sense if they’re celebrating an age above 100.

November

This is the perfect cake for bougie November-borns.

December

I think this might be the cutest cake on this list. Nigerian bakers, over to you.
