Designs for Homemade Kid Birthday
Cakes
Party cakes take many forms and
designs and should fit in with the overall theme of the celebration.
Starting with the traditional round or sheet cakes and a little extra
effort, a truly memorable cake is possible... and making your own cake helps
defray the cost of party expenses.
Anyone can bake a simple sheet cake and
jazz it up with a few clever cake toppers and unique birthday candles.
Consider fresh cut flowers, different kinds of candies and cookies, small
plastic toys, or other items which match the party theme.
For example,
make a work zone cake for a construction party by using small trucks, tootsie roll logs,
and a dirt mountain of mini chocolate chips. Add
construction cone
candles
.
Top your luau party cake with a lei made from fresh or
plastic flowers.
A carnival party cake could be
accented with animal crackers and peppermint sticks.
If
you'd like to build your own unique kid birthday cake, think of the design you'd
like to make and what shapes you need to make it - round, sheet, loaf, cupcakes,
or a combination.
