Notes
This recipe does use a specialty flavoring to achieve that signature Birthday Cake flavor. I order the Cake Batter Flavoring from LorAnn and absolutely love it. If you do not want to purchase a special ingredient I totally understand! These Blondies are just as good without the special flavoring!
