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.

Here are 3 ideas to help you select the perfect 1st birthday celebration cake for your little boy or girl. 1. Giant Number 1 Shaped Cake – it’s a first birthday so why not mark the event with a number 1 cake?

Your gorgeous little one is about to turn 1 and it’s time to celebrate! But how can you have a wonderful and memorable celebration and avoid a 1st birthday meltdown? Here’s a couple of tips which helped me to plan my little guy’s special day: The time of the party. What time are you planning to schedule the party? Try to plan around YOUR child (not the guests)! If your child has (and needs) a long sleep around lunchtime you may find it better to schedule the party earlier in the day. Try to pick a time when you child is well rested and alert so they can enjoy some of the celebrations. Plan age appropriate activities. Scary clowns, loud music, noisy activities all can frighten small babies. Instead of the traditional noisy party games, plan some low key things that your baby will enjoy – quieter singing and clapping to familiar nursery rhymes will keep your baby happy and smiling for the camera. Take some of the pressure off – there is no shame in having the food catered for, or ordering a special cake. You’ll be glad you did when you have plenty of time to spend with your child on the day instead of worrying about the food or entertainment. Keep it short. Try to have a starting time and ending time on the invites so people know when it’s time to ‘hit the road’. I would suggest 1.5 – 2 hours maximum. This is enough time for baby to see their relatives and friends and enjoy some of the activity without it becoming overwhelming. Take...
