Lady Birthday Cake Ideas

What’s a birthday party without a birthday cake? More often than not, the birthday cake is the centerpiece of the buffet table. And when it is time to blow the candles, the cake takes the spotlight. That is why it is important to choose the perfect birthday cake design, most especially if the celebrant is a lady. So what birthday cake ideas for ladies are available for her?

There are hundreds of designs to choose from. But before you find the perfect birthday cake, there are some factors that you must first consider before deciding, such as the age and personality of the birthday girl.

For little girls, there are countless designs that spell “sugar spice and everything nice.” A miniature dollhouse may be perfect for your little sweetheart. You can also use Disney characters or other characters like the Power Puff girls, Bratz and Barbie, to name a few.

Another suggestion is to make cupcakes instead of one big cake. Arrange the pieces in two or more layers, giving the appearance of a big cake but making it easier to serve especially in a children’s party. You can use multi-colored frosting for a colorful rainbow effect. Or use edible flower trimmings to make the cake look like a big bouquet.

As the celebrant gets older, there are fewer designs available. The good thing is there are more shops now that make customized cakes, making it possible to make cakes of any design that you can imagine.

If she is the more outgoing or adventurous type, choose fun, uncommon designs to reflect her personality. For example, if she likes to collect handbags, you can use her favorite bag as blueprint for the cake design. For the booklover, a cake that resembles a pile of books can be made. Some bakers can actually write on the cake a short quote or poem that she likes.

You can also pick designs from her hobbies or interests. A round cake with skating rink design and ice skater cake topper is perfect for an ice skating enthusiast. If she goes to the beach a lot, a cake with bikini design would suit her. If she is a pianist, you can choose a long cake with piano keys design.

Aside from trimmings and cake toppers, there are other accessories that can be placed inside the cake (after baking, of course). It can be a small music box, or some tea lights. Just be careful in using these devices.

If you run out of ideas, a photo cake may be a good option. Any picture can be copied unto the cake surface. It can be a picture of herself, alone or with her family or friends.

Browse through the net for cake designs and bake the cake yourself, or ask a baker to do it for you. Some websites provide for instructions on how to make the cake, including its trimmings and icing designs. You can follow the designs or make alterations according to your preference. Or you can visit a cake shop and see what birthday cake designs they have.

Lady birthday cake ideas are limitless. In the end, it would all have to depend on what the lady celebrant would probably like. Whatever the design, the cake must be something that she would really like and remember even after several birthdays have passed.
