I print off a pic from google. (A few are from aus womans weekly birthday book.) Then I cut it out to get the outside edge and toothpick it to the cake and cut cake around outline. I then cut away sections of the template and ice it a bit like using stencils. If you are using WWeekly templates take a copy of them. I sometimes also scratch the top of cake with a toothpick to get the lines etc. For eyes etc I will leave the paper circle on the cake and ice around it so when you take the circle off there is nice crisp lines where the paper was. I don't know if this is the "right" way to do it but it is what I have always done.   ]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:53:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056824&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056824 <![CDATA[kids birthday cakes : kiwi, how do you do your cakes?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056750&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056750 Author: Peanut

kiwi, how do you do your cakes? Do you take a picture and map it out or what?

Thanks.]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:06:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056750&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056750 <![CDATA[kids birthday cakes : Julz definately give it a whirl....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056600&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056600 Author: SMoody

Julz definately give it a whirl. If anything you get to eat a whole trial cake.

I am trying to be in denial of my boy turning 1 year old and havent even thought this far as such. Except that it is going to be carrot cake. ]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:48:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056600&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056600 <![CDATA[kids birthday cakes : wow those cakes are amazing ,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056571&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056571 Author: julz85

wow those cakes are amazing , gosh you ladies are very talanted . I have done a bit of baking, baked buscuits, cakes etc but iv never iced a cake before( iv put normal choco icing spread over a whole cake a million times but i have never done anything fancy ) so i really dont want to make her a cake and it turn out to be a complete disastor , i guess i could try a trial cake and see how it goes .

Wow, you are very talented ladies!!!

I can't wait till DS turns 1 so I can try my hand at doing a cake. I used to love picking out what cake I'd have for my birthday as a little kid.

Heres a few of my creations.
Butterfly

Littlest Pet shop

Thomas

Nemo

Jurassic Park


I didn't want to over do it but have pics of skater chick, whale, unicorn, castle, hedgehog... Kids start choosing their cakes a good 3-6 months before their birthdays lol. I second using gel colourings and sometimes I buy a sponge cake etc as I am a bit crap at baking. Although Betty crockers cake mixes are pretty full proof but expensive here. We used to get them for 99c (US) so it was cheap to put three of them together for a cake. Here not so much.

In one of the AWW books they have a castle cake and it's covered in a white icing (or maybe it's meringue) the towers are icecream cones


The white icing is royal icing.

Betty crocker does canned icing...

Vanilla buttercream frosting

200g unsalted butter (softened) or margarine
35 ml milk
2 tsp vanilla essence
500g icing sugar

Cream butter for a couple of minutes, add milk, vanilla and half the icing sugar beat for at least 3 mins or until the mixture is light and fluffy, then add remaining icing sugar and beat a further 2 minutes or until it is spreadable If icing is too wet add more icing sugar, too dry add more water.

This makes a large amount. I make this amount and seperate it out to colour seperately. Add your colour at final beating stage. I use gel colours, much richer and better depth colours, however Im sure normal food colouring is fine.

To make chocolate butter cream make it 200g coco powder and 300g icing sugar.

Freezes really well, too if you make too much.]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:13:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056435&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056435 <![CDATA[kids birthday cakes : Babe wrote:I&#039;m tryna decide...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056434&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056434 Author: MrsH23

I love making birthday cakes!
I'm not the best at the decorating (but the end result tastes sooo good!).

The butterfly was Hannah's 1st and the Very Hungry Caterpillar was for her 2nd as she was obsessed with the book at the time.

Ive got lots on my facebook....I don't think we are friends on their though. I made a doll cake for Charlotte for her #2 birthday butterflies for #1 and cupcakes with sparkly butterflies on them for #3. I have also done a 3d pirate ship, a 3d train, a cool dinosaur and the good onld numbers. Butter cream icing is really easy to make and if you get good food colouring (I use a gel) you can make awesome colours and they look more impressive than hard work!]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:13:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056280&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056280 <![CDATA[kids birthday cakes : I have a family friend who is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33923&PID=1056265&title=kids-birthday-cakes#1056265 Author: julz85
