Planning a cake for a child

How to plan a kids’ custom cake

Focus the design around the child’s favourite theme and the details they will recognise first.

Animal themed children's birthday cake with personalised details by Amour Desserts
01

Tell us all about the birthday kid

Start with the birthday kid: their name, their age, their favourite colour, and whatever character they're obsessed with right now. Then add the theme, any topper idea, and how many the cake needs to feed.

It still has to suit the party time, travel, storage, and guest count.

02

Choose a design level that fits the event

A family lunch, play centre party, school celebration, and large birthday each need a different size and detail.

Send the event setting so we keep the design special without overcomplicating it.

Questions about this topic

Should I include the child's age?

Yes, if you want the age displayed or used in the design.

What flavours work for kids?

Strawberry, chocolate and vanilla buttercream are familiar choices for many children, while pandan is another option for family tables. Contact us to discuss the current flavour list.
