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.

Ben 10


A square cake with store-bought coke-toppers. Very easy. Spray food coloring makes it so easy.


Fondant Fun- Butterflies


I'm still learning to work with fondant, so this took me a little longer than usual... hours, actually, since I don't have proper fondant tools.

I think my daughter was pleased. It also tasted yummy. What good is a pretty cake if it doesn't taste good?!!

Cakes that are square and have toys as the decoration are so easy & fast. This was simple with buttercream icing and spray food coloring.

Black-Suited Spiderman Symbiate


My nephew, who is 3, can tell you anything you ever wanted to know about Spiderman. He requested this cake, which I wasn't sure I could do free-hand. It was perfect for him. I just used different concentrations of black coloring on a buttercream icing.

Cow Cake


Using a photo, I made a copy-cat cow cake. I used a 10 inch round pan for the base and a pampered chef small mixing bowl to bake the head. I shaved the head down a little to make it more rounded. The eyes and nostrils are Whoppers® candies.

Sunflower Cake Cookie


This one is for a kid at heart. I used a big cake pan to make a large chocolate chip cookie. Then, I put yellow Zingers to make the sunflower petals. To soften the edges, I used chocolate icing to fill in around the cookie. I placed it on a few pieces of metallic green tissue paper (on a large round tray) and it was perfect!
