10 Stunning Birthday Cakes for Girls in 2020: Must Have Cake Designs She'll Fall in Love with and Where to Buy Them Online

As children grow up, so do their tastes. Not only for flavours, but personality wise too. Your seven year old daughter no longer thinks a cake with animal toppers is good enough. However, a three tier high princess castle cake would be the envy of all her friends. Themes are important things to think about too!

If you little girl wants a themed birthday party then a themed cake has to be made or ordered. This is no easy task. You can’t have a fairy tale birthday without the appropriate cake to round it all off. And the pressure is on, as this year has to be better than last year! But you have to consider things like size and budget, as well as their ever changing pallet! So getting it right is no easy task. The perfect cake will show her how much you love her.

The cake is the centre piece, the element that completes a successful birthday party, so getting it right will of course take time. Deciding who is going to make the cake is the first step you have to take, home baked or ordered. Remember that ordering it in will take more time. If you are baking the cake yourself, give yourself time to wash up! If you are having the party at home also, you don’t want the guests to see a messy kitchen. You have to choose the flavours and then theme too. You can’t have a cake that doesn’t match the theme! Once you have decided that, you need to begin thinking about the cake itself.

Write a guest list and work out how many people are likely to attend, from there you can work out the size of the cake you will need to bake or order. A small cake for a big number will just ruin the excitement of a cake if a child gets left out. All the proper planning will make your little girl feel special. It will take her birthday to new levels of cool and her friends will talk about it for weeks to come. So create your success story by planning ahead and giving yourself plenty of time for everything.

Baking your own cake is a great idea. It may take more time, give you more washing up to do, and sometimes, put your patience to the test. But, and this is a big but, it does save you money. And that is not the biggest or best part of it. You can personalise your little girl’s birthday cake to your heart’s content by home baking it. This way you can make the cake she really wants, with all the bells and whistles. Make it her favourite flavour, favourite theme or design with her favourite colours. She could even help with the baking and impress her friends! So it is easy to see why baking it yourself is a great idea.

On the other hand, that is not to dismiss the craft of a great bakery. Some professional bakers can do things us common people could never even imagine of doing, so hat’s off to them and credit where it’s due. So there is nothing wrong with having someone do the hard work for you. Nowadays a lot of local bakers take requests and make the cakes to your exact specifications. So don’t be ashamed to buy a cake, just make sure you go to your bakery with plenty of time for them to do it!

What people remember from every great birthday party is the cake. That is human nature. A big cake can be a show piece, the centre of attention, and more attention is brought to it when it is time to blow out the candles. Those reasons are why the cake is so important, and it really shouldn’t be overlooked. The cake is the piece that rounds off a complete birthday. It makes kids go crazy and brings memories to adults. So never underestimate how essential it is, for it is, and you’ll excuse the pun, the icing on the cake of a successful birthday party.
