where can i find a diabetic friendly birthday cake?

Your best bet would be a low carb cake.

However the concept of diabetic food is a myth, more marketing than anything else. A diabetic should have a healthy diet as should we all, the penalties for not having a healthy diet are just far more severe with a diabetic hence a diabetic should stick to the amount of carbohydrates recommended for his/her height and weight.

A diabetic who isn't using mealtime bolus insulin can spread out the carbohydrate load by dividing their meals down and therefore having more smaller meals. They can also choose lower glycemic index alternatives. Some people swear by low carb diets and certainly less carbs means less of an impact on diabetics but there are other problems with a diet of mostly fats and meats.

A diabetic who is on mealtime insulin would need to know how much in carbs is in the meal so he/she can inject the appropriate amount of insulin. The meals need to be consistent so that the amount of insulin can be adjusted through experience, indeed the carbs need to be absorbed during the effects of the insulin so measures to slow down the absorption such as lower glycemic index foods may be counter productive.

Best to call the bakeries and ask if they make a low carb cake and to inform the diabetic as to how much carbs is in it.

All birthday cakes can be diabetic friendly. The diabetic person(s) just need to keep their intake of cake to a minimum--they can have cake but it should only be a small slice and not more then that small slice. And if those persons have been conscientious about their carbohydrate intake and have only been eating sugary desserts infrequently, a small piece of cake won't do much damage. The problem with cake in general (or any pastry really) is that both the sugar and the flour are carbohydrates, add in any fruit too--so just substituting Splenda doesn't cover the whole problem. And many sugar-free/flour-free cakes taste pretty awful and many are chock full of chemical substitutes which are just as bad as the natural carbs. So, if the diabetic person(s) can just control themselves and not overindulge, a regular cake works quite well--maybe without the icing you could use fresh berries instead (and some whipped creams are real low in carbs and you only need a little dollop to make it festive).
