Birthday Cake Inspiration for Kids

Birthday cakes are often the centrepiece for any kids party, and as tastes change almost every year, it's likely that you'll regularly be looking for inspiration for ideas to make your kids cake fantasty come true. If you're not sure where to look, here's some ideas for you:

I could spend hours on Pinterest pouring over the galleries of cake ideas as there are so many wonderful choices on there. The upside to Pinterest is the fact that there are thousands of ideas on there; more than you'll ever have time to bake. The downside is that sometimes full instructions and recipes aren't included, as often it can just be pictures. Additionally, I've sometimes found a cake I want to make, but then found that it is an American recipe and I can't source the ingredients in Australia very easily. It's a great site for inspiration, but you might sometimes have to do a bit more research to find the cake you are looking for.

This site features some of the easiest cakes to make, with ideas that you just wouldn't think up yourself. The recipes are pulled together from a myriad of websites, so just click on the cake that you like and then you'll be redirected to the website for the full instructions. I like that there are full step by step instructions for each cake, and that these cakes are really simple to make, with no prior icing experience really needed. The concoctions that you can create with multiple cupcakes is great for the novice baker.
