Children’s Custom Birthday Cakes

Children deserve custom birthday cakes made just for them! Custom birthday cakes have literally endless options for themes, designs and flavors! We love when children sketch out their own dream cake and we get to make it a reality!

Let’s talk about a few of our favorite cakes we’ve made and themes that can bring a smile to your child’s face. Whether you plan to make a cake yourself or want a little help from 3 Sweet Girls, here are some popular themes to get the ideas flowing!

1. Food Cakes

We have a blast making cakes that look like food! There a challenge to making your favorite food look real but also taste like something completely different. Imagine, an Oreo Cheesecake flavored Skyline Coney?! Yes, that’s exactly what you’re seeing below!

Cakes can be covered in candy, sculpted into your favorite food (Taco cake, anyone?!), or modeled after your favorite restaurant’s specialty. What’s your favorite food?! Think how awesome would it be to have it made into a cake!

Food themed cakes aren’t just for children’s birthdays, they’re perfect for adult birthdays, groom’s cakes and company parties too!

2. Animals

Animal themed birthday cakes are always a hit for children’s birthdays year round. They can be based on a character, a favorite animal or a family pet.

Sometimes the cake itself is made to look like an animal face and other times there will be three-dimensional sculpted fondant animals on top. From 2d to 3d, there is so much room to customize and make this your own.

A few of the most popular have been unicorns, foxes and woodland animals, and Fiona the hippo!

2. Special Interests

Every child is unique, so their birthday cake should be too! No matter, what your child is interested in, that can be incorporated into a special design. The opportunity to see a child’s face light up when their favorite things appear on their birthday cake is one of our favorite parts of the job!

Video games, emojis, chemistry, sports, tools, pirates.. the list goes on! Some cakes focus on one specific theme while others combine many different ideas into one.

4. Movies, Books & TV Shows

Another top theme is favorite movies, books and television shows. These can be anything from nursery rhymes and classic children’s books, to superheroes and Disney princesses. We create custom scenery and backgrounds that make characters come to life!

4. Drool-worthy Flavors

Sometimes, kids (or grownups!) just want a cake that tastes like their favorite candy bar! From M&Ms and Reese’s peanut butter to Oreo cookies and Heath Bars, any candy or cookie can be a moist and delicious cake flavor.

The beauty of so many flavor options is that you can pick any of our cupcake or cake pop flavors to be made into a cake! No matter the decorations, the inside can be the birthday boy or girl’s favorite!

All of our cakes are three layers of cake with two layers of homemade buttercream or cream cheese frosting sandwiched between them. We also have options for jelly fillings and chocolate ganache!

Hopefully, you are inspired to plan your child’s next birthday cake! We are always happy to help out with ideas and would love to talk to you about a future order.

First Birthday Cakes

First Birthday Cakes are a big deal! This milestone birthday calls for something special. We definitely LOVE creating all of the unique designs that our customers ask for.

Most first birthday parties are celebrated with a large cake for the guests and a smash cake for the birthday girl or boy. Guests eat their cake by the slice with a fork and the birthday child gets to eat the smash cake with their hands. Guests love to watch the child smash the cake and eat it eagerly watching their reaction to what may be their first sweet taste of cake! Guests will often cheer the child on to really smash the cake. This table-manners go out the window as the child’s face is covered with frosting and cake is everywhere. This is really a lot of fun despite the mess and is a great photo opportunity. The one year rule isn’t hard and fast. If your toddler did not enjoy their 1 year smash cake there is no upward limit. Many people will give it a try again on the 2nd birthday as you can see in the cake for Ella below:)

When planning the big first birthday celebration most parents do have a theme and will have us design a cake around that. It helps a lot to provide us with an invitation to match everything to. We can create the smash cake to match the cake for the guests. Besides the many pictures that you will take at the actual party many parents like to take the pressure off of themselves and hire a professional photographer for a smash cake session. They will purchase a separate smash cake just for this. One of our favorite photographers is Heather Elizabeth Studios .
