Have you ever helped pick out a kid’s birthday cake or got one for your own kids? Most of the time, many of us are tempted to go to our local grocery store and pick out an overpriced cake with the child’s favorite character. While kids may be excited about these cakes, they’re usually not worth the price since the entire cake tastes well…flat and too sweet. Many parents don’t realize that many of these cute cakes are easy to make at home, or just as easy to make something just as cute in your own kitchen. All you need is a recipe, an idea, and the time to prepare it!
Below, we included 10 of the cutest children’s birthday cakes we have found online. These cakes were shared with us by fellow bloggers who were excited to show off these cakes to my readers. Feel free to tell us what you think. What is your favorite cake?

Some day when I have a bigger kitchen I’d love to try one of those rainbow layer cakes. But perhaps go with an attempt at ombre. Thanks for sharing these great ideas!

I love #8 and the directions seem pretty easy. I like that it is made from box cake and you concentrate on assembly not a bunch of ingredients.

This post takes me way back. I really like the ideas centered around the Despicable Me theme. Growing up, I had a lot of younger cousins and was called upon often to decorate birthday cakes. I did the doll’s dress cake for the girls. For the boys, I decorated the trimmed cake to resemble a baseball or sometimes an igloo.
Mary M. says

I think this is a great idea. The standing Barbie is the best I think. I would be terrible at this project.
