What if you twist the chocolate fantasy and convert it into something more delicious, creamy and milky? Sounds great, doesn’t it? Try white chocolate for your birthday cake this time. However, you will be surprised to know and that white chocolate isn’t chocolate at all. It is cocoa butter mixed with milk and sugar with a hint of vanilla. Yeah, that’s why it’s so delicious.

White chocolate cakes would ideally contain white chocolate layer on top of the spongy, tangy base. However, if you wish to stick to the good old dark chocolate as well, you can add some white chocolate ganache layers in a dark chocolate cake. It will surprise your guests and give them that gooey white chocolate between the dark chocolate sponges.

You can use a top layer of white chocolate over a lemon or strawberry cake. You can also make a mocha mousse cake with some white chocolate filling. Try to make this cake as interesting as possible. Go for different layers and decorations. Sculpt the cake in interesting shapes. If you want, you can go for a round cake decorated with some gingerbread cupcakes with a dollop of white chocolate on top.

A white chocolate cake can easily resemble a white canvas. So get ready with all your creative skills. If you do not know cake sculpting, then make a round or rectangular cake in a flavor of your choice and decorate it with some white chocolate fondant. You can cut the fondant with the help of a cookie cutter and place it on the cake with the help of some water.

White chocolate is very buttery in general. Therefore, when you bake a white chocolate cake, it can easily become brownish on the top, while it’s still not properly made inside. Therefore, it is always good to use white chocolate as a layer of filling or a fondant that can be placed on top of an already baked cake. If you have made a simple cake with a very strong flavor, then apply some white chocolate ganache on your birthday cake to give some interesting contours to the recipe.

Easter birthday cake will be a great idea for the party. Decorate the cake with a colorful fondant and even place a few egg shaped cake pieces on top of the cake. Make sure that your cake emits radiance and joy. Don’t let it be the simple old boring cake that you used to bake when you had to snack on something in the evening.

The birthday cake should be something special. You can embellish it with trees and flowers and everything that the birthday girl/boy likes. You can opt for a small hill decorated with small colorful flowers or even make a cake shaped like one huge egg. Easter eggs are very popular and kids love them. Why don’t you make an Easter birthday cake basket? It will not only look unique, but will make the child jump with joy.

You can even opt for a usual round or square cake and top it up with ginger bread, brownies and a few small balls made of icing sugar. Support the cake with some blocks of rice crispy dipped in chocolate and you have one birthday cake that takes the whole party by storm.

Some creative ideas work really well if you are not one of the ‘baking mom’ club and do not know much about sculpting a cake. Make round or square cakes like you always do. Simultaneously, bake a few cupcakes in different flavors. If you do not have the time to make different flavors, just get some fondant and roll it out in different colors. Wrap the cupcakes in the fondant and place them around the first cake. Make sure you put some icing over the cake and decorate it with some strawberry jam, jelly and maybe a few cherries.

Making a birthday cake can be a big challenge. You may suddenly run out of ideas or may not find the fancy recipe of the cookbook working for you. In this cake, add just a hint of creativity and imagination and you will enter the party with a wow cake.

So what can be the most wonderful birthday cake for your kid? There are the usual plain ones and others with decorations but how about something really out of the world? Guess… Yeah you can even go guessing to the period before the early man. Welcome to a treat from the Jurassic period. It is a DINOSAUR or DINO BIRTHDAY CAKE.

A Dino cake doesn’t mean it has to be very big in size like a dinosaur. It means a cake designed in the form or shape of a dino. Just imagine! What all you can use to create a perfect dino cake? For starting, just think about the different dinosaurs that you have seen. All of you have seen the film ‘The Jurassic Park’ and so all of you know them. There is the T-Rex, Brontosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus etc. If your kid really loves dinos, then this can be the best cake you can make for his/her birthday and it’s a great surprise for the kid too.

Let the dino be surrounded by bushes and make him appear adorable even with those big claws and teeth. Maybe you can choose a few pastel shades for the dino. Color his body in purple, blue, red or green. Make him appear an object of amiable imagination. Give him claws with nail paint on or dress him up in a stylish bow.

A dinosaur birthday cake does not need to be very huge as well. Why don’t you sculpt a square cake in the shape of a dinosaur? However, this would require some time and some sculpting mastery on your part. To keep it very simple in case you don’t have time, the yummy chocolaty birthday cake can even depict dinosaur eggs. Yes, why not be a little creative? Crack the egg in the center and place a small dinosaur model inside it.

Let your imagination go wild and become Steven Spielberg for your child’s dino cake!
