Birthday Cake (Cake Batter) Pancakes

I posted a link to these really cute pancakes a couple of weeks ago. Mike finally had a Sunday where he could have breakfast at home before work, and my birthday was right around the corner (which is why I refer to them as birthday cake pancakes), so we made these pancakes. They are really yummy and cute. I think I would cut back on the powdered sugar "syrup" next time but the pancakes do have a "cake" taste that's really good.

I'm still struggling with getting our pancakes to be a little puffier (word? not sure). I wish they would rise a bit more!
