Choosing a theme!

When choosing  a theme for your birthday cake you need to consider the age of who the cake if for and what their interests are because you don’t really want to be making a cake that’s shaped as a dinosaur for an older lady or making a barbie cake for a boy.

 Some good ideas for a young girl could be a character from one of her favourite television shows, a fairy cake, a princess or Barbie cake, a castle cake or anything girly at that.

If you want something more neutral you can always make a cake in the shape of the age that the child has turned or you could stick with the basic round or square cake and decorate it with a few sprinkles or make it covered in their favourite colour in icing or even both! If you are more into something a little more special but only have the time to do a circle or square shaped cake you can always get already make decorations and lollies to help make the cake look nice and appealing.

For a young boy some ideas you could choose can include pirates, dinosaurs, cars, something from one of their favourite television shows or maybe have it based on a sport that they like.

 As people get older the themes start to deteriorate so you can get away with making a basic shaped cake and making it look good. You can still stick with themes and just make them not so over the top or if the person the cake is for has a good sense of humour, go ahead and make it crazy!
