Birthday Cakes

No birthday party is complete without a fabulous birthday cake.

Transform your favorite trend into a multi-tiered birthday cake creation. Fashion lovers, for example, will find amazing birthday cake inspiration on PartySlate, from a life-size Louis Vuitton purse to stacked Tiffany & Co. blue boxes.

If the birthday party has a theme, carry it through to the birthday cake. Cartoon characters can also be brought to life in cake form, with favorite Disney characters sculpted from fondant and buttercream. Boho chic, Roaring Twenties, and Barbie glam are just a few themes we love seeing displayed on a themed birthday cake.

Some cakes are (almost) too pretty to eat. Artists hand-paint these pastry creations, displaying water color technique on a layer of birthday cake frosting. Pastry chefs can also create the most beautiful life-like flowers to apply to each tier of your cake design.

For a sweet sixteen party, choose a 16th birthday cake reflective of the birthday girl or boy. Even 50th birthday cakes can be youthful and creative, honoring the guest of honor's interests from decades well lived.

While over-the-top birthday cakes are always in style, consider the newest trend of mini birthday cakes. Use mini cakes as place cards or as part of your tablescape décor. But don't forget a dedicated birthday cake specifically for blowing out candles and making a wish.

Find cake designs and cake ideas on PartySlate, then find a bakery, caterer, or designer who can help you create the confection of your dreams.
