BIRTHDAY BLOCKS
Cream cheese is the secret ingredient in this simple pound cake recipe. It makes the cake firm for cutting-and easy to frost, too. This cake can be baked ahead and frozen, then thawed before the party and decorated, leaving you with plenty of time for other preparations. - Ethel Ledbetter, Canton, North Carolina

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add flour; beat just until blended. Stir in extracts. Pour into two greased and floured 9x5-in. loaf pans. Bake at 325° for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 15 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, in a large bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in 4 cups confectioners' sugar. Slowly add milk and vanilla. Beat in remaining confectioners' sugar. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting reaches spreading consistency; set aside., To make building blocks, cut each cake in half, then cut each half into four blocks for a total of 16 blocks. Gently trim crusts of each; blocks should measure 1-3/4x1-3/4 in. Frost sides and top of blocks. Smooth frosting using a warm spatula. Using tinted icing, decorate with letters and numbers (see photo). Carefully stack blocks on a serving platter.

BABY BLOCK SHOWER OR BIRTHDAY CAKE
This idea for a cake is so sweet! This would be perfect for a baby shower or even your little ones first birthday party!! You use frozen, store-bought or homemade pound cakes cut in half to make "blocks" and then frost with "b-a-b-y" or the baby/child's name that the party is celebrating!! NOTE: the quantity of cakes and frosting depends on how many blocks you need to spell out the name.

Steps:
- Make or buy a minimum of 2 pound cakes (quantity depends on how big of a name you are spelling).
- Slice in half width-wise and shave sides and top accordingly to make a cube.
- Color appropriate amount of white frosting with food coloring to make pink, blue or whatever colors "blocks" you want.
- Frost all sides but the bottom of the blocks with the colored frosting.
- Using a frosting gun or a ziploc (with tip cut) filled with remaining white frosting - write the first letter on all sides, including the top of the block.
- Repeat with the additional "blocks" by finishing out the name you are using.
- Arrange blocks to spell out the name on a beautiful platter and getting ready for the compliments!
- NOTE: You could also bake 2 13x9 cakes and cut into cubes and make the "blocks" 2-layers stacked.
- You could get even fancier and pipe the contrasting color of frosting onto the edges/trim of the blocks to define them more.
- Or you could decorate the blocks with the white frosting and spell the baby's name out with the color-tinted frosting.
- The possibilities are endless!
