The Igloo Cake with penguins
For C's birthday, we got the igloo pan from Williams-Sonoma and made a rich chocolate cake. Unfortunately, the cake recipe was very, very moist so while it tasted amazing, the igloo flattened out a bit. But, since the chocolate penguins we had residing in the igloo were short, they didn't mind.
Cake - looks or taste?
Everyone knows that fondant doesn't taste all that good, but it makes for beautiful cakes. On the other hand, buttercream, while delicious, does not make for that professional smooth finish that allows for intricate designs, shapes and figures like fondant.

Frogs, lizards, a parrot, a monkey and turtles - happy birthday!
I constructed 2 frogs, 2 lizards, 1 parrot, a monkey and some branches and leaves out of fondant. Also, a small pond. Then, I used white chocolate to mold the leaves that ringed the cake layers and the turtles. I painted them all with gel food coloring and set them into thick buttercream icing. The top tier was chocolate pound cake filled with chocolate ganache and the bottom tier was vanilla pound cake, also filled with ganache...
Yum.

Seahorse cake
Well, it was really all part of testing the cake recipe, to find a good, moist pound cake that would work well for a tiered cake. But, who am I to leave a cake naked? I mean, you need the frosting to know how the flavors will work and once you ice it, you might as well decorate it, right?In our house, all things undersea are revered, so I had to try a seahorse cake, complete with seaweed and bubbles. What do you think?
Funniest cakes ever.
But, today, someone sent me to the CakeWrecks Cake Blog which I assure you will have you laughing outloud. Really. These are cakes with errors, gaffes and... dread diseases. A big kudos to them. Check it out. And, thanks to MB for sharing!

Slumber Party Cakes
When the slumber party is the theme
Sometimes a slumber party has a separate theme, but really, just the sleepover concept is enough for a great birthday party. If your idea of a dream birthday is donning your pajamas and hanging out with your girls with a pizza and some pedicure kits... you'll want a cake that is baked to match. Whether you go with a bed, sleeping bags, jammie clad girls, pizza and popcorn or a spa motif on your cake, it is sure to be the focal point of your sleepover.

Penguin Cake
Easy and cute penguin cake
This penguin cake did not use a special mold or cake pan. I made my own pattern for this birthday cake. To make the penguin cake template, I cut waxed paper into the shape of my cake pan and experimented with the proportions of the cake pieces. Essentially, I took a 13 x 9 cake and used the pieces I cut off his "body" to make his wings and feet. I used a simple star tip with white, brown and orange frosting and my penguin-loving niece adored him.Of course, there are other ways to do penguin cake decorations. You can do fondant penguin decorations on your cake, make a penguin out of icing on a round or sheet cake or use penguin cake topper decorations.

Penguin birthday cake pictures
If you're planning a penguin birthday party, of course you'll need a special cake to fit your theme. What's not to love about penguins -- they're cute, they are charming and they're all ready for any formal event! Of course, the popularity of the Happy Feet and Surf's Up movies have put penguins even more on the forefront of the birthday theme scene in recent years.
Penguins are appropriate for winter sports themed parties, penguin parties, black tie birthdays and for Linux operating system fans. This is one of those cake themes that is just as good for an adult (maybe for a 40th birthday party?) as a kid... You'll find these penguins topping icebergs, igloos and even a pirate ship.
Looking at these penguin birthday cake photos makes me want to make a penguin cake right now - maybe that's what I'll make for MY birthday this year!

Princess Castle Cake
Homemade princess castle cake
There are molds available to do castle cakes as well as kits with tiers and turrets. I did this one entirely from scratch, using a double layer round cake on the bottom, a smaller double layer round cake on the top and then covered ice cream cones with frosting and turned them upside down for turrets. We used "hello kitty" princess figurines on this cake, but you could use any princess cake topper or just let the castle stand on its own. We topped the whole thing with very shimmery sugar "glitter." Hawaiian birthday cake photos
Looking for ideas for a creative Hawaiian birthday cake? Hawaiian themed birthday parties are popular for sweet sixteens, teen boys and adults, since Hawaii is truly ageless.
Hawaiian birthday cakes are especially popular for 40th birthdays!
Design a cake that captures the serenity of a Hawaiian sunset under the palm trees, or the excitement of a big surf on white sand beaches. Fete someone with hula girls, or cover your cake with tiki heads and torches. Recreate dad's favorite Hawaiian shirt on a cake, or put a hibiscus flower motif on any shape cake. Or, pick a classic Hawaiian dessert and serve pineapple upside-down cake!
Whichever direction you go, your hawaiian birthday cake is sure to please all your guests with a little piece of paradise!

Chocolate Octopus Cake
Williams Sonoma Cake Pan Mold
Last summer, Williams Sonoma had this adorable octopus cake. In this version, I covered his body with chocolate ganache. Once it set, I created the details and the water from royal icing. The seashells are molded white and dark chocolate (using a wilton candy mold) and then set into the icing. For the cake, I used a heavy poundcake recipe and it held its shape beautifully.

Butterfly cake
pastel butterfly birthday cake
I used a Wilton cake pan for this butterfly cake, but you could easily cut a butterfly shape from a sheet cake or a homemade cake made in a 13 x 9 baking pan. I chose pastels based on the birthday girl's favorites, but you could also do this as a realistic butterfly, or using primary colors. Beautiful butterfly cake designs
Butterflies are lovely and are the perfect cake design for a garden party, tea party, or a butterfly themed birthday. They are suitable for little girls and mature women alike, so butterfly cakes are one of the most versatile designs you can use for your celebration. Combine them with flowers, plants, bugs or just let them stand on their own. Here are some stunning cake designs that make use of butterflies.

Uncooked Fluffy White Frosting Recipe
If you want a lovely, basic uncooked frosting that is light fluffy and tasty, try this simple buttercream recipe on your birthday cakes.Ingredients
* 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or replace with more vegetable shortening if you desire a pure white color to your frosting)
* 1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract (regular vanilla is fine if you don't care about an off-white color)
* 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)
* 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Use an electric mixer to cream the shortening and butter together. Add vanilla and continue to blend. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating it with the milk and continuing to whip the frosting until it is fluffy and of a nice spreading consistency. You may use more milk to make it a little thinner or less for thicker white frosting.

Train Cakes
Make a train cake for your favorite engineer
If you want to make a train cake, there are myriad options available. Williams Sonoma offers a train cake mold (with multiple train cars) if you are feeling ambitious. However, you can also easily decorate a sheet cake with an icing train, or with icing tracks and place a train figurine on top. Or, get creative with the train theme and decorate with an elaborate landscape with a track running through it, or create a picture of your favorite engineer on your birthday treat. Train cake pans from eBay
Some of the cutest train cake pans have been discontinued, but never fear. You can still find them on eBay. You can find new items on eBay as well as gently used cake pans - often someone has purchased the pan for a single occasion and then no longer needs it - their storage shortage is your gain! Look for the standup Wilton 3D train pan as well as Thomas the Tank engine and a variety of other adorable train tins.

Aloha!
A luau birthday cake is perfect for an adult, a sweet sixteen or for children. Tropical luaus are one of the most versatile themes for parties, since there are great variations that work for nearly every age and interest - got a toddler who wants a luau? Go with cheeky monkeys and palm trees. A sweet sixteen? Think hibiscus, palm trees and tiki torches to top your cake. A teen surfer is celebrating a birthday? Top your birthday cake with a surfboard, palms and seashells, maybe even a hula girl. Party for a ten year old girl? Dolphins frolicking in the waves are sure to please. Ten year old boy birthday? How about a chocolate volcano!

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake
Made without a special pan
Hello Kitty, that simple Sanrio character continues to be a favorite of toddlers and teens alike. If your favorite Hello Kitty fan is yearning for a cake in her image, don't worry -- it is crazy easy to make.To do this one, I simply baked a 13 x 9 sheet cake. Then, I cut the shape of Hello Kitty's head (with bow) out of a piece of parchment paper onto which I had sketched her (she's an oval with triangle ears -- that's really all there is to it). I laid the parchment over the cake, cut with a serrated knife and voila - she was ready for icing. Meow!
Bears Swimming Pool Cake
Summer fun with this swimming pool cake
These teddy grahams are having a day of summer fun with this swimming pool cake. We made a two layer cake and cut the center out of the top layer to make the sides of the "pool". Then, with some blue buttercream icing, gummy fish, teddy grahams and cocktail palm trees for some sunshades, we were ready for our day at the beach. My daughter liked the fact that she could "decorate" it by arranging the palms, teddy bears and gummy fish.

Girls Birthday Cake Ideas
Cakes for girls are fun!!
Of course, the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a design for your birthday cake or a theme for your party is what are the birthday girls' interests? Does she love a sport or a hobby? Is she a dancing diva, a gymnast, an animal lover, a gardener or a voracious reader? What does she play with? Is she passionate about her dolls, her tea set, her chemistry set, craft kits or toy kitchen?
And, even more importantly, what are her ideas for her cake and party? If she is like my daughter, she starts planning her birthday fete about 364 days ahead. (By the way, it is really dangerous to let your kids watch the cake competitions on the Food Network since they get delusions of cake grandeur.) Anyway, it is her special day, so make sure you get her input on whether she wants a Hannah Montana bash or a Teddy Bears' picnic.

* Mermaid birthday cakes
* Princess birthday cakes

Fairy and Pixie birthday cake ideas
If you are throwing a birthday party for a pixie, you need to have a magical cake. What makes a cake fit for a fairy? It can be a woodland wonderland, filled with toadstools and flowers and fit for a forest pixie, or an icy cavern, home to an arctic sprite, or a home for a group of water fairies. What else goes well with fairies and pixies? Butterflies, ladybugs and other charming insects, small birds and reptiles, flowers, berries, and lots and lots of sparkles. We recommend the edible glitter. The only limits are your imagination and a sprinkling of magic pixie dust on your birthday cake, to get a treat that will thrill everyone.

Cakes are more than cute characters
Beautiful, sophisticated birthday cake designs can be easy
When we think of birthday cakes, it is common to think of the cute ones with animals and children's characters. However, most adults love birthday cake too, so consider these methods for simple, yet sophisticated cake designs:Decorate Cakes with Flowers
While everyone associates icing flowers with birthday cakes, it is even easier to decorate a cake with real flowers. Find beautiful, edible flowers (even if people aren't going to eat them, you don't want any potentially toxic plants to come in contact with your cake) and trim off any thorns and extra leaves or excess stem length.
Some great flowers to use on cakes include:
Other edible flowers to consider are:
Fruit as Cake Decoration
Another beautiful way to decorate a cake for an adult is with fresh or sugared fruit. Summer berries are especially beautiful and sumptuous; consider strawberry halves, blueberries and fresh raspberries. One truly elegant way to use berries is to alternate plain and chocolate dipped strawberries to garnish your cake top.
You can also use other types of fresh fruit to decorate your cake. Since most cut fruits brown when exposed to air for any duration, consider dipping cut fruit in a sugar glaze before using it to adorn your cake top.

Quick Dolphin Cake -- just for fun
So, I've never made my favorite pound cake recipe in classic round cake pans -- I always use a bundt. Since my daughter wants round tiers, using this cake for the upcoming rain forest birthday, I needed to give it a test run, and also try out the ganache filling with buttercream outside.I lowered the temp by 25 degrees for the experiment and the cake came out great - rich and moist. The ganache was too dark -- I used chocolate that verged on bittersweet, so I'll use a milder chocolate for the real thing -- and the buttercream was perfect. Of course, I needed to ice it to ensure the buttercream would cover any ganache filling that stuck out and also to get the whole effect.
So, then I decided it needed a simple decoration - I wanted something that would amuse my daughter so I did a simple dolphin (out of the same buttercream, but colored blue) frolicking in the waves. Voila. A dolphin cake. Not exactly a masterpiece, but quick, easy and made my daughter happy -- "ooh, mommy, a dolphin cake!"
Cake Pan Obsession
An amateur baker is sucked in by NordicWare
It is all Williams-Sonoma's fault. They have drawn me in and I am obsessed with their cake pans. It started innocently enough with the sandcastle pan. Then, someone gave me the pumpkin cake pan and the Hansel and Gretel house. The santa was on sale. Of course, we had to have the octopus. The easter bunny just hopped into our bag. And, then, the floral petit fours, the mini pumpkins, the vegetable mini cakes and finally the backyard bugs. Can it be stopped? Fabulous Cake Pans for boys' birthdays
