Creative Kid Birthday Cakes - Super Easy

Posted Friday, December 22, 2006 (2 years 336 days ago.) Viewed 459 times.

Do you want a super easy way to make your child's birthday cake look terrific?

How easy is super easy?

Not long ago I put together a survey asking moms if they thought picking up a cake for their birthday child at their favorite bakery and decorating it with easy-to-find, ready-made decorations like edible cake art, edible toppers, cake pics and rings and non-edible toppers was something they'd like to try.

Well guess what?

39 percent of those responding to the survey said they would rather just pick up a regular cake and be done with it. Huh? Somethings wrong here.

This is YOUR birthday child we're talking about.

But 39 percent of you would rather just pick up a regular cake and head for the nearest Starbucks for a cup of whatever the flavor of the month happens to be instead of taking just a little bit more time to add some personal touches to YOUR birthday child's cake. Got time for a refill on that coffee?

Super Easy

When it comes to kid birthday cakes, it really is super easy for you to turn an ordinary, off-the-shelf cake into a fun, birthday surprise work of art that your child will really love and appreciate. And if you insist, you can still have your cup or two of coffee.

Edible Cake Art

Its colorful; it's fun, and it's super easy to find edible cake art that matches your child's birthday theme at an online party or cake decorating store.

Why online? Because all you do is choose your decoration and they ship it right to your door. Now that's super easy and you don't even have to leave your house.

Well, unless you're headed for the nearest coffee shop for a cup of your favorite half-caf, mocha latte fru-fru coffee thingy.

Edible Toppers

Your kid birthday cakes will take on a wonderful 3-D look when you add these fun edible cake toppers (made from sugar). It's super easy. Just click on your favorite online cake decorating store and look for your child's birthday theme.

Then sit back, have a sip of your favorite coffee brew and wait for your doorbell to ring. Is that super easy or what?

Oh and by the way, at the end of this article, I'll give you a super easy link to one of the most respected online party and cake decorating stores where you'll meet two nice ladies named Mary Ann and Kimberly who will be happy to help you.

Cake Pics and Rings

These decorations are non-edible and they can easily be used to help give your child's cake that fun 3-D look. And you'll find cake pics and rings to match just about every theme.

One fun thing more about these decorations is that after your cake has been enjoyed, you can rinse your cake pics and rings and use them as party favors. You can also use these to decorate cup cakes.

And, all you have to do is click on your favorite online cake decorating store, select the cake pics and ring set of your choice and then wait for them to be delivered right to your door. Talk about easy.

And of course you can reward yourself with an extra large cup of your favorite coffee, tea or fruit juice.

Non-Edible Toppers

These are my favorite. You can even find really fun animated cake toppers. And these are also available for just about any theme.

And get this --- Long after your cake is gone and your child's birthday is over, most non-edible toppers can be used as toys or collectibles. And they really make your kid birthday cakes come to life. Oh and of course these are super easy to find too.

Just click to your favorite online party or cake decorating store, choose the non-edible topper you like (and one your birthday child will like as well), sit back and wait for your special topper to arrive at your door.

And with all the time you saved choosing your cake decorations online, just think of all the extra time you now have for sampling the latest flavors at your favorite coffee place. Or where ever you like to hang out.

So if you want a SUPER EASY way to add a very special touch to your child's kid birthday cakes. just pick up a cake at your favorite bakery and make your child's special cake come alive with edible cake art, cake pics and rings, edible toppers and non-edible toppers.

Your child will love you for it.

And hey --- It really is super easy, just for you!

Have fun

Fun Cake Toppers - Bring Your Cakes To Life

Posted Thursday, June 22, 2006 (3 years 154 days ago.) Viewed 1,899 times.

Candles aren't the only thing you can put on your cake.

You're going to want someone to take lots of pictures and shoot lots of video when you bring out your special cake because cake toppers magically bring your cakes to life with colorful and reusable pieces that will make your birthday child very happy.

Imagine bringing out your cake and having everyone wanting to get a closer look at the fun decorations.

Available for a variety of party themes from Curious George to Tinker Bell, cake toppers are a wonderful way to add that special 3D touch to your cake.

Animated fun

Many cake toppers have movable parts that animate your cake presentation. This makes for even more fun because your child can play with their toppers after the party, or use them as collectibles.

A must for theme birthday parties

If you're having a theme party, cake toppers add so much more because the theme of your party is right on top of your special cake.

For your train birthday cake you can find a topper that includes a wind-up train engine that runs on a small set of tracks right on top of your cake. For a Curious George birthday cake, George lays in a hammock that swings freely between two palm trees. And for a Bob the Builder birthday cake you can have Much the Dump Truck digging up frosting.

Decorating your cake with toppers is creative fun. For more information and a large selection, just follow the link at the bottom of this article. Here is just a very small example of cake toppers that are available.

  • Barbie Cake

  • Batman

  • Care Bears Cake

  • Dora the Explorer

  • Pirates Cake

  • Rubber Ducky

  • Star Wars Cake

    It's easy with cake toppers

    If you don't have time to bake a cake from scratch, just pick up a cake at your favorite bakery, then pick up a cake topper at an online party supply store and watch your cake come to life. And remember, toppers are reusable and can be used as toys, party favors or collectibles after your party is over.

    Why give your birthday child a plain old round or square cake with nothing but candles on the top when you can easily bring your cake to life with a cake topper that matches your party theme and makes your cakes so much more fun.

    So remember to get those cameras ready to capture the happy, surprised look on your child's face when they see their special cake for the first time, magically brought to life with colorful, fun cake toppers that can be used as toys or collectibles after your party.

    Have fun!

    Creative Child Birthday Party Invitations

    Posted Wednesday, June 14, 2006 (3 years 162 days ago.) Viewed 405 times.

    Your creative child birthday party invitation will make those you invite really want to attend your party.

    Imagine the reaction when your very creative kid birthday party invitation arrives in everyone's mail box.

    Or what if your party invitation is hand delivered by someone in your theme costume... You'll make a wonderful impression on everyone and they'll hardly be able to wait for your party!

    Here are some great ideas to help you think creatively about your child's birthday party invitation. Remember, you want your invitation to stand out from the crowd and really get everyone excited.

    Information To Include

    Always include your child's first and last name so they know exactly who's birthday it is.

    Mention the age your child will be celebrating at their party.

    Include the day, date location and start time of your party.

    And include the time your party will end so that parents will know when to pick up their child.

    Also mention if it's a costume party and if you will be serving food.

    Having A Magic Theme Party?

    With some black paper cut out top hats. And with white paper cut out bunny rabbits. Cut a slit near the brim of the hat and everyone that receives this invitation can "pull a rabbit out of the hat" and read the invitation you've printed on the rabbit.

    An Invitation That "Magically Appears"

    Take a piece of white paper and write your invitation on it in white crayon... When you send the invitation, write something like this in black ink across the very top of the paper. "Your birthday party invitation will magically appear when you rub the enclosed magic wand across the paper."

    Enclose a red crayon for them to use... This kind of creative invitation tells your invited guests that your party is going to be special.

    Shrek Birthday Invitation

    Use some green paper to cut out Shrek's head, then cut a slit where his mouth is. Now cut a bubble shape using white paper... Write your birthday party invitation using a green pen... Now when everyone receives their invitation, they'll pull the bubble out of Shrek's mouth and Shrek will speak to them (well sort of).

    Shark Tale Invitation

    Ever try writing an invitation on a great white shark?

    Using white construction paper, cut out the profile of a shark (include an open mouth and teeth).

    Then take a square piece of paper and write something like this... "use your imagination and dive with us to a fantastic reef under the sea where Oscar the Fish lives and needs your help celebrating (birthday child's first and last name)'s birthday."

    "Oscar is decorating his penthouse pad at the top of the reef with birthday party balloons and streamers. And Oscar's going to be playing some of his favorite undersea "Hip Hop" music to welcome all his friends to his wonderful Shark Tale birthday party."

    "Shark alert! Be careful when entering Oscar's reef... You never know when Don Lino, the great white shark, will be swimming by."

    "Our Shark Tale birthday party starts bubbling with fun on (date)."

    "Oscars Shark Tale Reef penthouse is located at (address)."

    "Our Shark Tale birthday party for (birthday child's name) will actually take place on dry land, but in all our imaginations, we'll be having fun in Oscar's underwater world."

    "RSVP to Angie the Angel Fish by (date) at (phone number)."

    Now fold the invitation paper and attach it to the shark cut out you made before. You can now mail out your creative invitation.

    There's No Limit To The Fun

    You and your child will have a wonderful time coming up with creative ideas for your special child birthday party invitations. And everyone will be very excited about coming to celebrate with you.
