None! I can't stand the texture of any cream in my mouth. So whipped cream and other frequent creams on cakes are an absolute no-go for me.

I also don't have a sweet tooth at all so I'll be fine with a birthday pizza :D

At my sister's 3rd birthday party my mom made whipped cream, only the cream was spoiled. I was the only one who could taste it. I was unable to eat whipped cream for the next 30 years.
