Birthday Cakes for Children

Sherry, my delightful guest blogger for cakes, wows us again with her ideas for children's birthday cakes...

The first time some one asked me for a Ben 10 cake for their little boy, they nearly ended up with a very big time piece!

Making children’s cakes is not as easy as you may think. Children have an unerring eye for detail, which can tell whether Peppa Pig is the correct shade of pink, whether Charlie and Lola are the right height, or indeed if Chip n’ Dale have the right noses.

When asked to do a children’s birthday cake, I spend a lot of time investigating the characters in detail beforehand, from every angle. You may not know what Iggle Piggle looks like from behind, but you can bet your bottom dollar that your child will!

Obviously these days you can buy a pretty decent basic children’s birthday cake from the supermarket, but personally I don’t think you can top being able to give your child a cake with their absolute favourite character sitting on top, spelling out their name.
