When that time of year approaches to get
ready for another birthday party, you may have a lot of worries and
stress. Planning for a party can be stressful, but baking and
decorating a cake can be really fun. This article will give you some
great
kids birthday cake ideas. Depending on your
child’s interests, there is a little bit of everything to
choose from in this article.
Character Cakes
If your child is constantly talking about a
favorite film, toy, cartoon, or character, a character cake is probably
your best option. If your little boy really likes Bob the Builder, how
cool would it be to have that character on a cake for him? Or if your
little girl loves a Disney princess, wouldn’t it be fun to
have a Cinderella cake?
Finding the mold for the cake is the easy
part.
You can usually find cake molds to fit the character cake from your
local upscale baking store or cake decorating shop. To make things even
easier for you, many specialty cake shops have cake molds sold with
frosting instructions.
Sports Cakes
Kids birthday cake ideas don’t
have to be extravagant. If you child loves a sport, you can create a
party around a sports theme. It is easy to decorate these kinds of
cake. For example, you can easily decorate a round cake to look like a
baseball or basketball.
If you don’t want to make the cake
look like a ball, it is really easy to recreate a sports field with a
rectangular sheet cake. You can find plastic figurines to top it off,
such as goals or hoops, and even sports players.
Animal Cakes
If you are planning a party for a younger
child, it may be a good idea to go with your child’s favorite
animal. Creating an animal cake is very easy. All you do is get two
round cakes. Use one of them for the head and use the second one to
create ears and other features of the animal. Some popular animal cakes
are kittens, puppies, pandas, and teddy bears.
Photo Cakes
If you are running out of kids birthday cake
ideas, take one of your child’s favorite photos to your local
cake decorating store. In just a few moments, they can prepare an
edible version of your photo. All you will need to do is follow the
instructions to put it on the cake. You can also add a little bit of
icing to create an unforgettable cake.
Decorate-Your-Own Cake
For this cake idea, all you will need to do
is provide the basic necessities: cupcakes, frosting, spreading knives
and candies. This is an easy alternative to freaking out about
decorating your child’s cake. Have your child and his/her
guests decorate their own cupcake. This could get messy though. Just
make sure to spread out some tablecloths and aprons.
