The Coolest Kids Birthday Cakes

Fire trucks? Farm animals? Cartoon characters? Kids birthday cakes come in all shapes and sizes!

Choosing the right cake for your child’s birthday is a rather difficult proposition. The easiest thing to do is to have a theme party and design the cake to suit the theme. For instance, for your daughter’s birthday, you could think of interesting princess party ideas and have a cake to go with the royal theme.

Kids Party Cake Ideas for All Ages

For a 'princess' theme party, the cake could be shaped like a tiara. Or if you have the necessary baking skills, shape it like a medieval castle. Dress up the birthday girl in a grand princess gown and ask all the other kids to come in their regal best. To add a touch of magic to the party, sprinkle silver and gold dust around the room. And come up with interesting ideas for the kids invitations as well. For example, the invite could look like an old-fashioned scroll.

Boys prefer sporty themes. Automobiles, bikes and superhero figures appeal to them. A cake shaped like a soccer ball or a racecar would surely be an instant hit.

If you need a cake for a smaller child’s birthday party, animal shapes work well. Also, if you have a hard-to-please birthday baby who is very choosy about the flavor of the cake, animal shaped cakes will be your best bet. A butterscotch or a pineapple cake could be shaped like a cute yellow duck. Or if you need to do a combination (in order to please more than one kid), go for a chocolate and vanilla cake shaped like a brown and white puppy. Synchronize your decorations to suit the animal theme. For example, Clifford the Big Red Dog party supplies offer a well-coordinated range of party hats, balloons, cups, candles, dinnerware and more.

In the end, whichever type of cake you choose, keep in mind that it should be easy to execute and should appeal to people of all ages. Remember, you and all the other adults will have to eat it too!
