Some birthday cake ideas

Birthday cake has long been a beloved and traditional part of the birthday celebration, some even say as far back as the time of the ancient Romans. While we can never be sure of this, we know for a fact that the birthday cake completes the party. While you may be tempted to run to the nearest bakery for the best and most elaborate cake they have, wouldn’t it be a nice touch and a nice keepsake to bake your loved one their very own cake? Assuming you have the skills to make a robust and flavorful cake, all you have to think about is the special design for the special birthday celebrant. Think about what best suits your personality!

For one, if your celebrant is musically inclined, there are plenty of ideas you can incorporate for the cake. First, he tries to remember what kind of music he likes: classical, pop, rock, alternative or maybe death metal? If it’s about classical music, for example, you can shape the cake into a violin, using brown icing to cover it and some black licorice for the strings. You can also try making a grand piano cake, turning the frosting black for its body and adding some white for the ivory keys. Decorating the cake according to this musical theme leaves a lot to inspiration, and what your celebrant prefers.

For sports fans, it also helps a lot to determine your favorite sport, whether it be soccer, basketball, baseball, or even chess. For the first three ideas, you can choose to bake a round cake, or oblong in the case of soccer, and decorate it like the ball. Another idea might be to bake a rectangular cake, or a diamond in the case of baseball, and make it look like the field or court. For chess fans, a great idea would be to make the cake look like a chessboard, with alternating black and white squares. Adding edible chess pieces is a cute and fun surprise for the birthday celebrant.

For children who are in the play stage, you can decorate the cake as their favorite cartoon character or toy. Make a big rectangular cake, paint it with yellow icing, glue on two big eyes and some square pants, and you have SpongeBob. Alternatively, a large pink star-shaped cake can be frosted to resemble SpongeBob’s best friend, Patrick Star. Cakes that tell a story or adventure, such as Wild Wild West, Indian, Princess, and Superhero-inspired cakes are also a big hit with kids. Playing with children’s favorite toys and things can give you a lot of inspiration for a birthday cake.

Do you think that you are not ready for a big birthday cake like the ones mentioned above? Try making smaller cupcakes instead. Make enough small cakes for the estimated number of people who will attend the birthday party and more. Decorate each one lavishly in the celebrants favorite colors. Baking them a special cake for their birthday is a sweet way to remind them how much you love them.
