Birthday Cake & White Chocolate Artisan Pretzels – ¾ lb Artisan Pouch

Birthday Cake & White Chocolate Artisan Pretzels

Kingston Sweet Batch • Sugar-Brined & Hand-Drizzled

Every Day Deserves a Little Birthday Cake.

There are serious snacks.

This isn't one of them.

Birthday Cake is pure fun.

I wanted to take everything people love about birthday cake—that unmistakable sweet cake flavor, creamy frosting, and colorful sprinkles—and turn it into a Kingston pretzel.

So, like my other sweet recipes, I start with my sugar-brine process.

That gives me the sweet foundation I need while keeping the salty crunch of the pretzel underneath.

Then comes the birthday cake flavor.

And because birthday cake without frosting just feels wrong, I finish every micro-batch with white chocolate that I drizzle by hand.

The final touch?

Colorful sprinkles.

Because obviously.

The Flavor

Birthday Cake has that unmistakable flavor you know before anyone even tells you what it is.

Sweet vanilla cake.

Creamy frosting.

That little bit of nostalgia that somehow tastes like birthdays when you were a kid.

But underneath all that sweetness is still a crunchy, salty pretzel.

That's where things get interesting.

Sweet cake flavor meets salt.

Creamy white chocolate meets crunch.

And the sprinkles add little pops of sweetness throughout the batch.

It's sweet.

Salty.

Creamy.

Crunchy.

Colorful.

And unapologetically fun.

Why I Make It This Way

I could simply make a birthday cake flavored pretzel.

But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

The white chocolate matters.

The sprinkles matter.

Even the fact that I drizzle the chocolate instead of completely coating the pretzel matters.

I want you to still taste the pretzel underneath everything else.

Some pieces catch more white chocolate.

Some catch more sprinkles.

Some give you that perfect combination of everything.

That's what happens when something is finished by hand.

And with Birthday Cake, I think a little imperfection makes it even better.

The Sugar-Brine Difference

Birthday Cake begins with the same sugar-brine process I use to create my sweet pretzel recipes.

Instead of simply coating the outside of a pretzel with something sweet, the process creates the foundation I build the rest of the recipe around.

Then I layer in the birthday cake flavor.

After that, I drizzle the batch by hand with creamy white chocolate.

And finally, the sprinkles go on.

It's several steps for what looks like a pretty simple snack.

But that's kind of the point.

Micro-batches. Made by hand. Finished one batch at a time.

Crafted the Kingston Way

Birthday Cake is one of my sugar-brined Sweet Batch recipes.

I make it in micro-batches, build the birthday cake flavor around the sweet-and-salty pretzel, then drizzle the finished batch by hand with white chocolate.

Finally, I add the colored sprinkles.

No giant production line.

No machine applying the chocolate.

No perfectly identical pretzels rolling off a conveyor belt.

Just one snack maker making something that's supposed to be fun.

Freshness Promise

I don't make Birthday Cake by the pallet and send it off to sit in a warehouse.

I make it in limited micro-batches.

I sugar-brine the pretzels, build the flavor, drizzle the white chocolate by hand, add the sprinkles, package the finished batch, and release it while it lasts.

When a batch sells out, you'll have to wait for me to make another.

That's how I want Kingston to work.

Less inventory sitting around.

More fresh batches of snacks actually made by a person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it really taste like birthday cake?

That's exactly what I'm going for.

Birthday Cake has the familiar sweet vanilla-cake-and-frosting character you'd expect, but it's balanced against the salty crunch of a pretzel.

Are the pretzels covered in white chocolate?

No.

I hand drizzle the white chocolate rather than completely coating them. That keeps the pretzel crunch and birthday cake flavor from disappearing underneath a heavy chocolate coating.

Are the sprinkles added by hand?

Yes. After I drizzle the batch with white chocolate, I finish it with colored sprinkles.

Are these very sweet?

Yes—Birthday Cake is unapologetically one of my sweeter recipes. But the saltiness and crunch of the pretzel give all that sweetness some contrast.

Do I need to wait for someone's birthday?

Absolutely not.

I'm pretty sure Tuesday is enough of an occasion.

When are these made?

Birthday Cake is produced in limited micro-batch releases. Once the current batch sells out, availability depends on when I put it back into the production schedule.

How should I store them?

Reseal the pouch after opening and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, especially because of the white chocolate drizzle.
