Easy No-Bake Mini Cake Bites Using Trader Joe’s Sheet Cake

No-bake, no-fuss, and seriously adorable.

If you’ve ever grabbed one of the mini sheet cakes from Trader Joe’s (the Chantilly Cream Vanilla Bean one is my personal favorite), here’s a fun little hack to dress it up! These mini cake bites take just a few minutes to put together and are perfect for baby showers, brunches, birthdays… or just because.

You can use any flavor sheet cake you like: chocolate, lemon, seasonal varieties. Choose your own cake adventure!

Want to get creative? Try these other topping ideas:

• Berry Flag (perfect for the 4th of July): Use blueberries in the corner of each square and cut up strawberries to form red stripes.
• Lobster Cakes (for a coastal theme): Top each square with a fan of strawberry slices and use a blueberry or chocolate chip for the eye. It gives off a mini lobster vibe and is SO cute for summer parties.
• Citrus Glow-Up: If you’re using a lemon cake, add a small slice of candied lemon or a piece of orange peel with a mint leaf.
• Tropical Twist: On coconut cake, top each bite with a chunk of pineapple and a toasted coconut flake.
• Chocolate Dream: Use raspberries and chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for a more decadent combo.

The best part? These take less than 10 minutes to make, but look like something from a fancy bakery. No baking required. Just slice, top, and serve.

If you make these, tag me! I’d love to see it.
