The secret lies in a homemade birthday cake syrup. To make it, simmer ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water for five to 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat, stir in 1 tablespoon of cake batter extract and allow the mixture to cool.
To assemble the drink, fill a tall glass with ice and add one to two tablespoons of the syrup, depending on how sweet you like your coffee. Pour in 8 ounces of milk and top with two shots of espresso. Stir gently to combine.
The signature topping is the cold foam. Whisk together 3 tablespoons heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon birthday cake syrup until thick and airy. For the pastel blue hue often seen in viral videos, mix in ¼ teaspoon blue spirulina before whisking.
Pour the cold foam over the latte, then finish with a swirl of whipped cream and a generous sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles. The result is sweet, creamy and surprisingly reminiscent of vanilla birthday cake.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply looking to brighten a regular morning, this cheerful coffee trend turns an everyday latte into something that feels a little more special.
