The ones for Andrew's 3rd birthday are the the photo gallery. They were a three covered in bug lollies. A plain square cake covered in lollies.
For his 2nd he had a 2 that was a race track and a train.
For his 1st he had sponge bob at both parties, we hired a tin and just decorated it.
He had 2 cakes as he has a daycare party for each birthday.

Australian Womans Weekly do a kids birthday cake book that is really cool. Mum brought it when we were kids and its still very useable today so maybe worth the investment. The have an updated version now and think its about $25.

Yeah Mum always made us cakes from the Womens Weekly Birthday Cake book.
She did the train once for my cousin, and it had loads of carriages... and she used coloured popcorn for the smoke.
I got a piano cake, a lion cake, a doll in a cake with a marshmellow dress, and some of the number cakes.
Radness.

Oh I think we've decided on a teddy bears picnic theme. I had a flick through the cake book mentioned above and saw a very cute, simple one that had 2 teddies having a picnic on it (duh! hehe). So that would be easy peasy to recreate.
Or... I was thinking maybe I could get a bit more ambitious and try a Care Bear cake.

Meow, (I'm sorry, I've completely misplaced your real name! ) I've been wondering this for a while, but how do you make the dessicated coconut coloured? Surely it's not as simple as putting food colouring with it, is it?! Please explain thank you muchly.

Have you got the latest women's weekly cake book? As that's where I got the safari idea from, it tells you what to do. You just have to toast it in the frying pan, making sure it doesn't burn

ooh, i wanna post pics of Jake and taine's - will find them later. Taine had a tractor that I got from the internet (and some helpful advice from janine), Jake got a truck and Blues Clues... and a lion (for playcentre cake). Not sure about this year as Jake isn't having a party - we'll be in Rotorua so will take him for an outing for his big day then have a family dinner - still need a cake though.
Oh, and have a b-day cake I made for my friend Shaun...aaaah, maybe not appropriate in this forum - emma might kick me offf = slightly "risque"

Meow you have inspired me!! What kind of cake did you use for the butterfly? I'm thinking I might do a chocolate sponge...?
------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
|
Posted By: meow
Date Posted: 17 May 2007 at 1:59pm
I think it was just an edmonds or alison holst one. The only prob with sponge is that it leaves lots of crumbs when you ice it..
I found the "pattern" for the cake online, typed in butterfly cake or something and i found the way to cut it and arrange it like a butterfly.

the main thing to think about with making cakes is what colour icing you are going to be using - if it's light coloured.. then chances are any little crumbs will show big time in the icing. plain cakes show less. you can always put them in the fridge or freezer for half an hour or so before decorating and stops them from being so crumbly.
and will hunt out the pics and post em. lots are from when i was a teenager for my neices and nephews etc.

Here you go heaps of cakes, you can clearly see some of theo nes i did as a teenager.. lol the roller blade cake was an early one and was for my little sister.. who was p-ing me off the whole time i was decoratingit.. hence the poor finishing. lol and my nephews had a pokemon obsession for a while there... can you guess?
White birthday cake
Winnie the pooh
Togepi pokemon
Squirtle pokemon
spiderman
Bulbasaur pokemon
Winnie the pooh - cooler version..sugarpaste
Here's paris's 3rd birthday cake from last year - gloria hippo from madagascar - I wasn't really happy with it, but it's hard to make a completely grey cake look kewl. what mattered was SHE wanted a gloria hippo cake and she loved it so that's all that counts.
and then there's her 1st birthday cake.. pic is a bit blurry and far away and caught me just as i was helping blow out the candles.. didn't have a digital cam then - was my sister's. Paris loved Miffy when she was little.. so miffy was her 1st birthday cake. again another easy one - the ABC for kids cake book is great cos it has elmo, bananas in pajama, miffy, babaar, teletubbies etc.. it's great.

rollerblade
Hi-5
My little pony
carebear
thomas the tank engine
The carebear cake was mega easy.. cos it was all one colour and i just did the dots and filled it all in.. then chucked rainbow m&m's across.

Wow, Janine! Those are beautiful cakes!!!
The rainbow bit actually was the part that scared me! I never thought to use pebbles!!! I want to do a Funshine Bear one though hehe I loooove the Thomas one. It's really neat.
Can I ask what piping set you've got?
|
Posted By: mum2paris
Date Posted: 17 May 2007 at 9:51pm
lol my mums one.. but mainly the $2 shop has perfectly good ones for one time useage or to keep. their nozzles are usually enough to do all you need to do.. ie a big and a small star shaped nozzle (like i did the carebear one with) and a normal piping nozzle to do outlines..
the carebears website has a heap of neat pics of carebears.. right click and save as to your comp (they have funshine bear) then just print out, trace over the top to get a simple outline and chuck it through a photocopy machine to make the pic A3 sized.. you can cut out the main bits like pussle pieces so that you just ice the cake white all over, put each piece down gently and toothpick dots around the outside to make an outline.. do this piece by piece removing each one as you go. do the outline darker, then just fill in with star dots of the lighter yellow colour. instead of doing straight rows.. try to make it so that the next rows arent' straight underneath but along a bit.. ie fill in the gaps so you don't see the white icing. that was the quickest and easiest cake i have done in a very long time!
good luck!

Ooh I did have a look at the $2 shop piping sets. They looked a bit flimsy, that's all! Do you have a recipe for the perfect consistency icing to pipe with? I just find mine always seems to be a bit stiff, but I'm afraid to water it down as it might not set
So you didn't buy a Care Bear shaped cake tin?

how did you do the thomas cake...????Please. i have two thomas fans here.
|
Posted By: mum2paris
Date Posted: 18 May 2007 at 9:20pm
he he nope never use shaped tins, just find a really kewl pic i like of whatever it is the girls want, something simple and not too detailed.. then enlarge it a little, print and trace over so all i have is a outline.. and photocopy that till it's large enough.. then just cut around it to get the shape, and cut into pieces to make the outlines like i said in the other post.. like a puzzle. Shaped tins can make it mega hard cos you get bits of cake stuck in them sometimes.. plus you still have to follow a templete with them to some degree.
for G&T.. the thomas cake.. Becs bought a set off trade-me.. (same as she did for the winiie the pooh sugarpaste one above) the thomas one just had the track with the little wind-up thomas (was cute went round the track!!)and a kinda picture, but all i did with both was make the cake, cover with white butter icing all over, then bought the ready to roll white icing, coloured it drop by drop with food colouring to get the colours, and rolled it out (making sure the surface was dusted with icing sugar otherwise it gets sticky..) once it was large enough i stuck it on the top of the cake and cut off the excess around the edges. for the rest i just used a new fine paint brush and kinda painted on lightly some green food colouring to make the hill, and then just piped on white icing to make the clouds and flowers and green icing to make the bushes. jaffas around the outside.. stuck on with a line of icing. and the yellow piece around the edge, again is just coloured ready to roll icing, rolled out and cut into long strip then little piped bits of red on it.. blue star icing piped underneath that. Is involved, takes ages, but isn't hard, just have to be methodical and have a play around first. you can mould the ready to roll white stuff like playdough, if when you add the food colouring it gets sticky just chuck some icing sugar on just like if you were making a dough.
when i first went to make harmonys winnie cake, i grabbed an xtra packet of the ready roll stuff and just rolled it out and coloured it and played around.. i didn't make a cake to stick it on for the trial run just stuck it over the back of my cake pan so i had some idea. so when i cam eot do it days later i had already kinda got some idea of how to work with it and how i wanted it set out.

ooh and will hunt out my butter icing recipe and post it.. is perfect makes up enough to cover whole cake and decorate etc and can be watered downa tiny bit if you wanta smoother piping consistency.. but with pipin gif you have it too stiff it doesn't come outta the darn thing, if you make it too runny, it just runs out and goes everywhere! will have alooksee tomorrow.

It is possible to food-colour coconut, put them all together in a jar so you can shake it around. Makes great grass when mixed with green.

Isla's butterfly cake was sooo easy! I just hired a heart shaped tin from a party hire shop for $6, made 2 heart shaped cakes,..then 3 muffins with the same cake misture for the middle,...there is a photo above on this page!
I just chopped the 'risen' part of the cakes off,..and turned them face down on the board so that the smooth bottom side was now the top to ice.
You could use butter icing, and decorate with lollies!

Upload the photo to a photo sharing website (photobucket is good) and then when you have the code you click on the tree (the last link just about where you write) and you can add it that way.

Yummy... Is that a Snowball for the nose?
Mmmmmmm, snowballs *droooooool*
All of these cakes are amazing!
I can't wait to make Eden's birthday cake... And mine
Just have to restrain myself and try not eat all the frosting before it hits the cake. I'm notorious for doing that.
