  • My kids love a pinata cake. Make a cake, cut out the Centre and fill with lollies so when they cut it all the lollies come tumbling out.


  • My daughter’s favourite is chocolate cake so that is usually the base of many birthday cakes.


  • Sounds nice ! I think any cake will do. Depending on the age, cupcakes may be handy or I’ve even done freshly baked waffles with fruit and syrup/cream and almade also once puff pastry pockets with fresh strawberries mango and banana


  • Wow, my kids have had all sorts over the years. Neither is a huge fan of cake so I’ve had to be creative. Cheesecake, pavlova, ice cream cake even a chocolate self saucing pudding. Lol


  • My kids love fruits cake or cheese. Akr or sometimes pastry


  • Basic chocolate or vanilla cakes are generally liked by everyone.


  • There is a children’s cake recipe book which I think was published by Womens Weekly and there are a few others around. A friend of mine usually does her children and grandchildrens’ birthday cakes. I think she has made most of the book by now. If they are car fans you can decorate a cake by putting toy car/s on the top of it. Either wash them before use or put extra icing in those spots that you can remove.


  • I made my little son a snake cupcake cake for his 2nd birtjday, he had a reptile party. Nice and easy and really loved by all his little friends.


  • I made my child a monster truck birthday cake as he loves monster trucks. I just made a normal sponge cake, then decorated it. I just purchased a small monster truck to place ob top of cake sitting on a tim tam like it was going to jump over it. Was a huge success and my little man loved it. Not sure how i will top it this year.


  • I usually make a chocolate cake decorated according to my child’s age. This year I covered the cake in grated chocolate and cherries.


  • I just bake normal cakes and decorate them them With sprinkles starts and coloured icing. This year I’m going to be a bit more fancy.


  • I always ask my boys what type of cake they want. When they were little I generally make a plain chocolate cake and decorated it, but over the years it has changed to include ice cream cakes and even a donut cake one year.


  • I made different ones over the years. My son had a chocolate cake in the shape of a 1 for his first. Then he’s had a lions head, pool table, ice cream cake, pavlova etc
    My daughter was never much into cake, so her 1st birthday was a chocolate self saucing pudding. She’s also had carrot cake, caramel slice, cheesecake ect
    Depends on what they fancied at the time as to what I made


  • For my son’s first and second birthdays I made Betty Crocker vanilla cupcakes and decorated them. For his first birthday I looked online for inspiration to make Cookie Monster cupcakes and they were very affective. I used some ready roll black icing for circle shaped pupils and semi-circle mouth, White choc buds for the eyes and piped bright blue icing all over. For extra affect I used mini chocolate chip cookies broken in half and placed in the mouth.
    His second birthday we were away for so I just decorated cupcakes with Thomas & friends flags and paper patty pans.


  • I made a butter cake for my daughters birthday. Her birthday is on the 27th December so this was an ideal cake I could make ahead of time and freeze and the defrost and decorate the day before. With a semi frozen cake it makes it easier to cut if need be too.
