I have never purchased a store made cake for my kids’ birthdays. For a few years, I was fortunate to have my mom make the cakes for me. Due to travel reasons, my mom can’t make the cakes any longer so I try to save money by finding something cute that I can do myself. Usually I do quite a bit of searching on the internet, decide on some options I can do myself, and then present those to my kids to choose from. Here are some cool cakes and cupcakes I’ve found.
Animals
Sports
Girls and boys
- mermaid cake
- princess cupcakes
- fairy dust wands
- Cinderella castle cake
- Madeline’s hat
- Cars movie cake
- pirate hat cake
- Blue’s Clues
- Lightning McQueen cake

The outdoors – flowers, bugs, and more
Other stuff
- flip flop cake
- ice cream cake (not make with ice cream)
- loops and confetti
- brownie ice cream sandwich
- balloon cupcake
Do you make your own cakes?
