Kid’s birthdays offer an opportunity for parents to showcase their organizational and culinary skills. If you come up with something unique and out of the blue, you can create a stir among both kids and the parents. One of the best ways to do this is by opting for an eccentric cake design. Do not go for the usual square or round black forest or sponge cake. There are creative shapes and cake designs that are not only startling to behold but also scrumptious to eat.

Begin with the shapes

Typical birthday cakes are square or round in shape. The first step to create an eccentric cake is to alter its shape. For instance, you can create a burger, automobile, snowman, spaceship, doll or other character your child loves. If they like computers, cut a square cake into an l-shaped desk and fashion other computer accessories using colored sugar paste. If they love basketball or soccer, you can order or bake cakes which are shaped exactly like these balls. Sugar paste is similar to plasticine and can be used to mould creative shapes which are added on cake.

Use pastries to create certain themes

You can use pastries to create amazing birthday cake themes. Swiss and mini rolls can also come in handy for altering the shape and taste of ordinary cakes. For instance you can combine several Swiss rolls to create a park ride theme for cakes. You can also use pastries to generate water chute themes, amusement park rides and other creative cake designs.

Go for Realistic Three Dimensional Characters

Create a mental picture of how you fancy the cake to appear. Do not envision the typical setting of an even cake with candles on top. Think outside the box and come up with a unique arrangement, which will raise eyebrows and be the center of attention.

Birthday cake candles

Birthday cake candles can also be made to rouse attention during the celebration. There are sparkling, firework, dinosaur, Mickey Mouse, molded and many other fancy types of creative candles; which can enhance the whole cake cutting experience.

Regular can be boring and no one take pleasure in a lackluster birthday party. This is why you should go out of your way to make your kid’s birthday party a memorable occasion. There are simple yet creative ways to achieve this, by use of readily available materials. You can have uniquely designed birthday cakes delivered to your home before the party. They can be further spiced up by use of sparkling candles.
