English term or phrase: Piece of Cake
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ANSWER :)

I'm not looking for the literal meaning, nor am I looking for the meaning of the phrase - I know that it means "something that is easily achieved".

It's marketing text for a retail solution for businesses, aiming to help businesses set rewards and benefits for their clients.
This specific phrase is the header of the "Birthday Rewards" section which is trying to convey how "easy" it is to set up birthday rewards using the (birthday) cake pun...

I look forward to your creative suggestions that will combine both the "Easy" and the "Birthday" references.

Cheers,

Explanation:
Forget about translating the pun - it will fall flat. Try sth that actually exists in Heb and could apply to the same context. Sibah le mesibah in a birthday context may work much better than a lame translation of "piece of cake".

piece of cake
הדובדבן שבקצפת


Explanation:
ניסיון ראשון. אם יעלה עוד דבר מה אוסיף אחר כך:

...כמה קל לזכות בדובדבן שבקצפת....

קל - "לזכר" בקלי קלות שבמקור לזכות - לטובת המענקים וכו' הדובדבן שבקצפת - "לזכר" העוגה....

Asker: הי גד, תודה על הניסיון לעזור, אבל זה בדיוק מה שביקשתי לא לקבל... תקרא מה כתבתי בבקשה. אני יודע מה הפירוש של הביטוי, אני מחפש משחק מילים אחר בעברית
