Cakes for Kids


A fun cake is a great addition to a kid’s birthday party. Here are a few we’ve done recently:

A Spongebob single tier cake with buttercream decoration and toys

The colorful background design makes this cake fun and playful, and the cost is kept down by the incorporation of character toys.

Sock monkey sheet cake with fondant artwork 

This was for a sock monkey themed cake. We really liked the monkey (so cute!). The argyle design on the sides was a playful touch.

Cowboy sheet cake with buttercream artwork

This customer requested a cowboy themed sheet cake and provided a paper plate she was using for the party. Katie was able to recreate the cowboy on top, as well as the bandana print from the border of the plate. It's always fun to have decoration on the sides of the cake, as well as on top.

Two-tier batman cake with toys and fondant decoration
This Batman cake has fondant decoration to match the theme, and toys to play with when the party is over!


Carved owl cake
This little girl has a owl-themed nursery, and her mom wanted to use her bedding and wall decal as inspiration for the cake. We made an owl shaped cake with fondant decoration, and a buttercream cake with the flower and vines from the inspiration picture


Yo Gabba Gabba molded figure

Foofa was molded out of rice cereal treat and covered with fondant for a Yo Gabba Gabba themed birthday party. The birthday girl was so excited that Foofa was coming to her party!

Buzz Lightyear fondant cake
This cake was for a big Toy Story fan. His mom said he really likes Buzz Lightyear, so we made a cake with Buzz wings, a starry fondant board, and his name and age to match his party theme.


Kids cakes with lots of colors can brighten up a party, add to the decoration, and be a great surprise for the birthday girl or boy. It is fun to take inspiration from a favorite show, character, or toy. We can make a sheet cake, single round, or multi-tier cake to serve your guests.

We can incorporate the theme through toys, molded figures, and fondant or buttercream artwork. A great kids cake is colorful, has enough decoration to be playful but not so much as to be distractingly busy.
