Try your hand at decorating these birthday cakes. Here are some
tips when decorating birthday cakes, make sure you find icing
that is easy to work with, that you find the correct color and
writing tube to write on the cake. Find cake decorating books

about cake decorating with people on the internet to get ideas.
One decorating technique that I have used in the past to
decorate my son's birthday cakes is to use small toys on top of
the cake. Finding cake recipes from Kraft Foods along with
pictures and instructions usually makes it easier and reduces
stress on what type of cake to make.

What makes a perfect Birthday is the flavor of the Birthday
cake. Since you are thinking cake, what is the special someone’s
favorite flavor for cake. Make sure your cake is very moist and
light with an intense flavor. Try to shop for the birthday girl
or boy favorite birthday cake flavor; this is one way to let
them know you really put some thought into it. The same goes for
the icing and the decorating, make sure you get something the
guest of honor would like, not something you like. You can do
beautiful things with fondant but the flavor leaves something to
be desired. You may also want to experiment by changing the
flavor of the cake mix you use too. You can also add color to
the icing by purchasing food coloring and adding it to vanilla
icing. This is another way of sprucing up the cake.

Let's face it, birthday cakes are special to the birthday guest
of honor. The shapes of birthday cakes are a big deal; you don’t
just have to do round. You can go to the local craft store and
pickup many different designs. The children's birthday cakes are
always a huge success; they always eat the cake and often ask
for more. Choices for birthday cakes are numerous.
