Amazing Birthday Cakes Anyone Can Make!
My little Ava babers turned one this week – unbelievable! I baked her an organic chocolate cake with chocolate icing and spelled out “Happy Birthday Ava” in puffs – her favorite treat. I thought she would just dive right into the cake when we set it in front of her, but instead she daintily picked off one of the puffs and put it in her mouth. She wanted nothing to do with the cake. Eventually she got into the frosting when she started smashing her treats down into the cake, but there was no face in the cake like I expected … maybe next year.
I just made a chocolate sheet cake – no fancy schmancy decorations, but next year for Ava’s second birthday I plan on going all out. I found these amazing cakes that actually seem fairly simple to bake and decorate – no elaborate piping, no fondant, no ‘cake boss’ skills required. Just a little imagination and a whole lot of love!
This super cute Castle Cake uses sugar and waffle cones for the turrets and you could customize this cake in so many ways with your own candy choices. For more details, visit the Parenting website.
I found this Sledding Party Cake recipe at Better Homes and Gardens. Coconut snow, pretzel rod trees, and cute little teddy graham sledders!
I think this Cookie Crown Cake with M&M and gumdrop jewels is so pretty! Find out how easy it is at Family Fun.
The Family Fun site also has an A to Z list of cute cupcake ideas like this Mini Monster!
I found this cool site called Birthday in a Box – they have everything you can imagine to put a party together – including this awesome Daisy Cake Pan!
