Don’t be intimidated by what may look like intricate detail work. We avoided any cakes that require special equipment or fondant (which makes for a perfect-looking cake but doesn’t taste all that great). Instead, we opted for recipes with big wow factor that are still easy enough for anyone to pull off. Feel free to start with a store-bought cake mix, leaving you time for frosting and decorating the cake. And don’t hesitate to swap in dad’s favorite flavor: if the recipe calls for chocolate but he’s a sucker for red velvet, it’s totally fine to bake his cake of choice. This day is all about him, after all, so be sure and tailor the dessert to his liking. If you’re lucky, he just might share the leftovers.
