We are having DH's family over to celebrate DH's 50th birthday and my MIL's 75th birthday. In addition, the plan is to celebrate my nephew who turns 18 a couple of weeks before DH/MIL's bday and my twin nieces bday which is about 2 weeks after DH/MIL's bday.
I think it might be nice to do a couple of different birthday desserts but since we are celebrating 5 birthdays out of 13 people total - 5 different desserts would be too much. Should I make it easy and just get one cake and have all their names put on it? Or do a couple of different desserts?
Everyone is coming to our house on Dh's actual bday which is a Sunday and MIL's birthday is the day after.
*We don't normally do family birthday parties and this will mainly be dinner at 4pm followed by some small gifts.

Do you have to put the names on a cake? I’d probably look at the favorites of your DH and MIL and go from there with maybe two desserts. The others will presumably have their own choice of dessert on their actual birthdays.

Cupcakes are another option that you may be able to do multiple flavors easily. I would do a small cake and then one or two other desserts (ie brownies, lemon bars, cookies, depending on favorites) and send leftovers home with the birthday people.

I did 4 mini (6 inch 3 layer rounds) for birthdays last year. There were 7 of us. But I love making cakes and made the birthday peoples' favorites.

Around here it would be very easy to get a bunch of different flavors of gourmet cupcakes for a party like that.
