Birthday Cake Ideas – Adventure Time theme! Adventure Time is a quirky, animated kids show created for Cartoon Network. It features main characters Finn (a human boy) and his best friend (and adoptive brother) Jake (who is a dog) and a host of other crazy characters. It’s one of those kids shows I don’t mind watching myself – it’s very funny and a bit different. So I was really excited when asked to come up with some birthday cake ideas inspired by the Adventure Time characters. The customer wanted Jake the dog to be the main cake. To start, I covered the cake board in green fondant icing. Jake was created by hand carving into 3 layers of butter cake, covered with buttercream icing and finished in yellow fondant. Fondant is like an edible playdough. It is made from sugar and can be moulded into almost any shaped. Fondant creates a perfectly smooth surface to work, can be coloured into any shade and is one of the most versatile ingredients to work with and for all of these reasons, is my preferred medium create with. When the cake was covered it kind of looked like an egg or a beehive! Once the base was finished it was time to decorate. I finished Jake’s face and arms and then I started to add some characters. The first is Princess Bubblegum. She is made entirely by fondant and is fully edible: Then the Ice King character was next. He took the longest time to create out of all the characters as his beard and teeth were so fiddly as was the...

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...
