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!

3 Princess Cake Designs…for the little girl who loves all things princess by Robyn Bent What little girl doesn’t love a princess cake? A princess themed cake is one of the most requested for little girls and you can see why when you take a look at the options available.. Step inside the magical world of the princess cake….. One of the very first cakes I ever made for a paying customer was a gorgeous princess castle cake. Today, the castle cake is still a popular design – I have even made them for some ‘not-so-young’ princesses! With edible turrets, tiny handmade flowers, hand painted vines and chocolate fondant castle doors, your little girl will be thrilled with all of the edible details. This castle cake is finished in fondant icing and dusted with edible glitter for that finishing princess sparkle. Castle cakes can be customized to any colour – pink, purple or another favourite colour. Larger cakes with a second tier can also be created to accommodate extra servings for a bigger celebration. No princess is complete without a tiara………an edible tiara! This fondant finished, 2 tier cake comes complete with an edible, handmade tiara that has been dusted in silver to add extra sparkle. The top tier of the cake has a classic quilted effect, while the bottom tier features candy pink fondant stripes. Matching princess cupcakes You can even add some matching cupcakes to your cake.

Photo Cake – with Moshi Monsters edible photo image by Robyn Bent Today’s featured (edible) photo cake was for a little girl’s birthday..actually it was a party for twins. You can see the other cake from this post: Monster High Sheet Cake This sheet cake was finished in creamy buttercream icing coloured green. The buttercream was piped all over the cake to make it look like grass. I next added an edible image of the Moshi Monsters characters and created a border around the edible image from little hand made fondant flowers and leaves. The design was finished with a fondant rainbow in the top corner. It turned out to be a really bright and fun cake. I also created some matching photo cupcakes with the Moshi Monsters name and the birthday girl’s favourite character, Buster. The cupcakes were iced in buttercream with the piped ‘grass’ and topped with a circle of fondant displaying the edible image. At Dreamy Cakes, we can create edible photo cakes in any theme or character. If your child has a favourite t.v character that they love – we can turn it into a special birthday cake.
