Attention all novice bakers! In this blog you will read three simple ideas for decorating children's cakes. As an amateur baker you can't wait for something to celebrate again. Every party is a reason to serve up something delicious. Is one of your children, grandchildren, neighborhood children, nephews or nieces having a birthday soon? Then it's time to get festive ideas for a festive children's cake. All these ideas can be applied to other festivities as well, but the focus in this blog is mainly on children's birthday cakes. You probably already know how to make different cake layers, so we won't go into that. We will mainly look at how you can transform that cake into a top cake in a fun way through decoration. Read on quickly for a good dose of inspiration!
1. Make it personal and delicious!
This is the easiest of the three, but also the most personal. For the background layer, choose a color that matches the party theme or the birthday person's favorite color. The foundations have been laid! Now it's time to get started with letter cutters for fondant or your freehand. Pick a color and instead of the trite "Congratulations..." or something along those lines, opt for a personal statement. Choose a statement that the birthday boy or girl says often or use a nickname that is often used. An example of such a child's statement:"Is it my birthday already?". This makes your cake personal and therefore even tastier.
2. A cartoon to eat
This is the decoration for children who love a cartoon character. This can vary from beginner level to more challenging. The choice is yours! Let's take Peppa Pig as an example, this is a simple figure. You choose a color fondant for the background of the cake. Then you make a big pink piglet head, you add with black, eyes and a mouth. With pink you make a cheerful snout. You are ready. Do you want more challenge? Then make the whole figure with body and all.
3. 3D cake with molds
This idea is simple and easy to implement. You choose a cookie cutter with different sizes that suits the birthday boy or girl. You can think of a:butterfly, car, heart, star, etc. Then make sure you have different shades of fondant from the same color family. Once you have devised the cake with a background color, you can get started. Cut out your chosen shape in all three colors. The darkest shapes are also the largest, etc. Always start with the darkest color first and work your way up to your lightest color. Then attach them on the cake from largest to smallest, now you have created a 3D effect.
