Kids Birthday Cake Decorating Ideas from Kids

Where do you get those ideas for kids birthday cakes is a question that I get often. Well, coming up with the idea for a great kids birthday cake is the easy part.

Baking, decorating and finishing a kids birthday cake is a time consuming labor of love. However, the easy part of coming up with a great kid’s birthday cake is the idea. The idea is what I will be discussing in this post.

As stated, there is no shortage of places to go for ideas to a kids birthday cake. The place to start, however, is not the Internet. The best place for your idea, whether it is a character, theme, locale or imaginary is a child. Asking your child, or any child, for an idea for a decorated birthday cake will generate a lot of answers.

You never know what the kid will say until you ask. But, keep in mind a setting conducive to creative thinking. I find that the best place to ask a kid for cake decorating idea is in their bedroom. It is their most creative place. From books, posters, toys to even the bed sheets, the room is a great place to develop cake ideas.

I also found that outside, after playtime, when the kids are winding down is also a great time to talk about cake ideas. Their minds have been set at ease and are calm from the play. This allows them time to think about ideas that may be important to them.

Places to avoid include any room with a television. I have found that the tv, even if it is turned off, is a huge distraction. And, it simply cuts off any creative thought process. Same is true for sitting near a computer.

So, there you have it. The best kids birthday cake ideas come from kids themselves.
