My bday is tomorrow and I REALLY REALLY don't want to succumb to eating birthday cake. I LOVE birthday cake...it's one of the things I miss most on this woe. I did resist the temptation to BUY a bday cake today...but my kids talked me into buying a package of six cupcakes...at least that way I can only have one!

But I don't want to do that!!! I have tried to think of something special enough to replace bday cake and not feel deprived...but haven't had any luck. I would like to find something that can take the place of cake for special occassions for the rest of my life. What do you all do?

P.S. I have tried several lc cheesecake recipes and have not been too impressed. None of them have really tasted like cheesecake. If I could find a recipe that tastes like cheesecake and not have to buy the ingredients online that would be an acceptable solution. I love cheesecake...just haven't been impressed with the lc versions I've tried.
