Some pans for toddlers tend to include Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Blue’s Clues, etc. Older children can enjoy superheroes like Spiderman, Dora, Cinderella, etc. Trains, cars, flowers, teddy bears and much more are hot favourites among kids. Being innovative, they are sure to win the hearts of all kids.
Cutting cakes into shapes
Round, square or regular flat sheet cakes can be arranged and cut for creating fun shapes. For an easy way out, it can be done by cutting a pattern out of parchment or waxed paper. This can be done with some tips and guidance. Dense cakes like pudding cakes or pound cakes can be easily cut. In case, the individual is uncomfortable with freehand drawing, then he can try out clip art printing. This way, anything can be built, and a few suggestions tend to include the following:
- Dolphin, Shark and fish: Rectangular cakes can be cut easily into any of such underwater animals. For creating bubbles, iced in blue or white, extra cake pieces can be used.
- Rocket Ship: A rectangular cake can be turned into a rocket. By trimming off the cake around the sides, a rocket can be cut in one piece. Mini marshmallows can be used for creating a ‘smoke cloud’ at the base.
- Racetrack: Two round cakes are to be placed side by side for forming a racetrack. Licorice or frosting whips can be used for creating an 8 shaped track at the top. Toy cars need to be placed to add the attraction and to look genuine.
- Flower pot: Two round cakes can be used for making a flower pot. Two round cakes are to be created, and the bottom layer is frosted. A circle is to be cut from the top layer, and then removed. The left over cake ‘ring’ is to be placed at the top. The ‘pot’ outside is to be frosted with pretty pastel icing, and then the inside is filled with ’dirt’ that is created from crushed chocolate cookies. Lollipops are to be popped into the dirt for giving a complete flower pot look. For outdoor adventurers or boys, supplementing the flowers along with bugs and gummy worms can be considered.
In case, the individual is having an issue with creating such cakes, he can always order birthday cakes online and make the occasion all the more wonderful.
