Childrens Cakes 4 popular cake designs for children With so many choices available for party themes – the decision can be overwhelming! Here are 4 of our most popular party themes and our matching cake designs: 1. Under the Sea/Octopus Party You may remember this design from way back here. This design was based on my son’s 1st birthday cake. In this version, the cake was created for 2 little girls so I adapted the octopus to look like a girl and added in some pink. As you can see, it’s a versatile design great for a boy or girl. 2. Barnyard Bash/Farm Party Kids love animals – so it just makes sense that ‘farm’ would be a popular choice for a party theme… For this cake we made these gorgeous matching cookie pops in cows and pigs – too cute! Cookie pops are great to serve with the party food or send them home as a ‘thank you’ to the guests Here is another larger, 2 tier farm design perfect if you need more servings: 3. Teddybears Picnic Party Such a cute theme! And once again easily adaptable for a girl or boy’s birthday. Ask all of the guests to bring their favourite teddy and get ready for some fun! We created these adorable matching teddy cookie pops….too cute to eat: 4. Candyland Party!! What child doesn’t love lollies, candy and chocolate? You’ll have fun too creating a candy wonderland!

Hootabelle Cake – 3D kid’s birthday cake This 3D Hootabelle Cake was made for a 2nd birthday. In case you are not familiar Hootabelle is a character from the popular ABC4Kids show Giggle and Hoot. Here is how the Hootabelle cake started out. Layers of butter cake were stacked together and supported by a dowel in the middle to create stability: Next the cake layers were carved into shaped (mmmm I wonder what happened to all those cake scraps?): This is the finished cake carved before the buttercream: The next step is to ice the cake in a creamy layer of delicious buttercream…yum! We only use REAL New Zealand butter in our buttercream – you will taste the difference! The buttercream is smoothed over and then it’s time for the fondant. Fondant is a type of sugar dough which can be moulded into any shape and coloured. It is a great medium to use and makes the cake surface super smooth. I am really pleased how the cake turned out – what do you think? Side view: The Hootabelle Cake was placed on a bright blue cake board with the birthday girl’s name written in fondant letters: Here at Dreamy Cakes we specialise in making children’s cakes – we can also make cupcakes to match your cake and party theme.

The following tips will help you order the perfect cake from Dreamy Cakes with ease! If you have a kid’s birthday coming up and you would like to order the perfect birthday cake here is a couple of tips that will help you order the perfect cake for the birthday girl or boy! 1. Select the date you need the cake for. This sounds kind of obvious but the date you need to pick up the cake might not be the date of the actual party. For example, if you are planning an early morning party at the park and need to get there at the ‘crack of dawn’ to grab the best table and set up the balloons and streamers, you’ll need to collect your cake the day before the party. Consider also if you have to travel to a certain location for the party (maybe the beach, or an indoor play centre), or maybe you don’t have a lot of party ‘helpers’, make it easier on yourself and order the cake for pickup the day before. The cake order date is also important because certain times of the year are more popular than others and therefore book out more quickly. Once you have picked the party date make sure you call as early as possible to get your order in so you don’t miss out! 2. Decide on the amount of servings you will need. At most birthday parties the cake is the centerpiece of the party and definitely not the only food on offer so there is no need to over-cater in size for the cake. Factor in...
