Birthday Cakes for Kids

With four little girls in our house, we have a lot of fun. One way we have fun & save few dollars is to make our own birthday cakes. They choose the theme and I do my best to make it happen. I'm not the best yet, but I am getting better. This blog is for me to share my ideas with you and also for you to share yours with the rest of us do-it-all moms.

Hannah Montana Cake


This one was pretty easy.

Basic Buttercream icing, 2 layers of 9x13 trimmed up to look sharp, and the face of Hannah Montana from a party blower.

The words are: Sweet Niblets! Erin is 9

Sweet Niblets is a phrase that Hannah Montana uses when she is surprised by something. I'm surprised that 9 years have passed so quickly.

Flip Flop Cake for a Luau


This was made using two 9x13 cakes. I just made a template of a flip flop on paper to use as a guide for cutting the cakes. I used buttercream icing and some canned Betty Crocker icing for the decorations. I used soft Twizzler licorice for the straps and Runts candies for the section where the straps meet.

I put some leis around it for a festive look.
