Need some birthday cake ideas for children?
How to make a child birthday cake? If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of time trying to come up with the perfect kid birthday cake.
My husband thinks it’s kind of silly, but his mother never went to a lot of trouble with birthday cake ideas for children.
Personally, I want my kids to remember their birthday cakes and think ‘wow!’ I mean, they’re only young once, so why not have fun while it lasts?
I know some people who spend a small fortune on their kid’s birthday cakes but with a little imagination and some great pictures of cakes from magazines you can make a really unique birthday cake ideas for children without breaking the bank.
If you’re handy with a knife, you really don’t even need to have a lot of specialty cake pans. This past year my son, who was turning 6, wanted a guitar cake for his birthday.
He’s going through that ‘I want to be a rock star’ kind of stage. So, how on earth do you make a guitar shaped child birthday cake without a specialty cake pan? Actually, as it turned out, it’s really not that hard to do.
All you have to do is bake a regular 9x13 cake. After its cool, you turn it out on a cake board and then, very carefully, cut out the shape of a guitar. You can use the extra cake pieces to form the ‘neck’ of the guitar.
Use some fun birthday cake decorations, like licorice and other kinds of candies and you’ve got a guitar shaped child birthday cake that any future rock star would be proud to have on their special day.
