A birthday is a perfect opportunity to express your love and appreciation for the special man in your life. Cakes, presents, vacations, and other surprises can make your boyfriend feel cherished. But, is that the best you can do to make his day extra special?
Messages go a long way towards making someone’s day. These days, with gourmet cakes that come in various shapes and sizes that can be customized for that personal touch, you have a wonderfully unique way to wish your boyfriend on his birthday.
Gone are the days of simple, ‘Happy birthday, my love.’ Take it up a notch with some fun and quirky messages on a cake that you design for him.
A thoughtful message can help you bring a smile to the birthday boy’s face.
Funny birthday cake messages for your boyfriend
Since we are veering off the usual path with birthday messages, let us begin with funny messages that would make him and everyone else laugh. We do not mean birthday messages that embarrass your boyfriend (though that is an option), but hilarious ones that could light up the party.
Puns
Some clever word-play can make a cake and a birthday special. A customized cake can be eggs-tra special (see what we are doing there?) with a message that makes everyone grin. Here are some messages that you can use for the man who loves a good laugh, and the cakes that you could use to go with them
| Cake | Message |
| A sunny side up with bread | A toast to the eggs-ellent you! |
| a slab of butter (you could use vanilla or cream cheese frosting) | To my utterly butterly delicious boyfriend |
| Apple | To the apple of my eye |
| Pizza | You have a pizza ma heart |
| a loaf of bread | I loaf you |
There is no dearth of fun things you could write for your boyfriend, and your creativity will be well appreciated.
Comparisons
Well, who doesn’t get cheesy once in a while? Seize the opportunity to do something out of the ordinary, or to remind him of something that you used to do when you first started dating- use the tried and tested ‘you are the… to my…’ messages. Here are a few you may remember using-
You are the cheese to my macaroni
You are the pepper to my salt
You are the butter to my toast
You are the ink to my pen
You are the icing on my cake
Of course, you can find cakes that would convey the same message.
Wisecracks
What is a birthday for, if not for a little teasing? Pull his leg about growing a year older with one of these messages.
Let’s skip the candles – there’s enough global warming
To the man who proves that growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!
You do get better with age!
The eternal question – cake, or cake?
Boom! Another year!
Older does mean better
Life’s too short to count calories
Wishes do come true – you get me!
Alternatives
While we are looking at fun ways to get your message across, you could also choose to do away with a conventional cake, and choose from the following options.
| Dessert | Message |
| Donuts | You donut know how much I love you |
| Pudding | Thanks for pudding up with me |
| Muffins | You are my stud muffin |
| Pie | ‘cos you are my sweetie-pie |
| Flan | I’m your biggest flan |
| Waffle | I love you a waffle lot |

Romantic words to write on a boyfriend’s birthday cake
There is no right time for romance, is there? A birthday is a perfect time to rekindle the romance or to show your boyfriend that he has the biggest part of your heart. The most meaningful messages are what you share of a special situation or incident, that is a memorable one for both of you. If you cannot think of anything that would fit on a cake, then, here are a few that could inspire you to create your own.
To the man, I wish to hold forever in my heart
To the one who stole my heart
My heart beats for you!
You make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time
You complete me
You’re my dream come true
A special cake for my special someone
I can’t imagine my life without you!
Another year I get to spend with you
Cute birthday cake wishes for boyfriend
Here is another option to pull at his heartstrings on his birthday- a cute message that makes him go, ‘Aww’ will score you some brownie points. After all, why should the men always try to impress when women can beat them to it?
You are sweeter than chocolate cakes
The world is a better place with you in it
You’re so sweet, we don’t need frosting!
Candles? Nah! You’re hot enough!
These messages can be written on gooey chocolate cakes oozing with chocolate ganache and some amazing candied fruits, or dry fruits and nuts. Red velvet cakes with cream cheese frosting, blueberry cakes, chocolate cakes, strawberry cakes, and fruit-based cakes such as apple crumble cakes, pineapple, or apricot upside-down cakes are also a welcome change from the mundane, to carry your messages.
While some of these messages can be cringe-worthy and too sweet, we recognize that each relationship is different, and sometimes, everyone needs to do something out of the ordinary. So, go ahead, make your choice. Surprise him with a cake he is not expecting, topped with the most delicious frosting and a message that will be remembered for ages. And, for the next birthday, when he is expecting you to up your game, come back to us. We got you covered.
