Kid Birthday Cakes Decorating Candy

Kid birthday cakes decorating candy is a very easy way to create a unique, colorful, looking birthday cake that everyone will love.

Do you want to learn a very creative way to decorate your child's birthday cake?

Here's a unique idea

Grandma Mary came across an article in FamilyFun magazine that gives creative examples and instructions on how to use ordinary off-the-shelf candy to make your child a memorable birthday cake.

Imagine a picture or a scene or something that represents your child's party theme. Or think about what your child likes. A favorite animal, birds, fish, a rainbow, cars, dolls, pirates, a princess, a favorite movie, book or?

Now make a rough drawing of the picture you have in mind.

By the way, you'll be creating your picture flat against the frosting on your cake, so think about what color your frosting needs to be so that it will compliment your picture.

Now think about how you can put together your picture or scene using everyday candy such as Skittles, licorice, colored jelly beans, fruit roll ups, candy sticks, Gummy Bears, Tootsie Rolls and even candy bars. Of course you'll want to include some of your child's favorite candies.

You can also use foods like fruits, raisins and nuts.

And you can also add your own creative flare by using edible cake decorations like glitter, sprinkles or sprays.

Just think creatively.

To begin, you can either bake a cake and frost it, or you can pick up a ready made cake at your favorite bakery.

Now for some fun

Red licorice, Twizzlers or Tootsie Rolls become tree trunks. Green Fruit Roll Ups become leaves. Banana Runts are shaped like bananas. And a round Peppermint Patty becomes a wheel with a red jelly bean for a hub.

You can build the outline of a pirate or princess using jelly beans, licorice or any number of candy combinations.

Here's a list of some candies that will help you create your masterpiece kid birthday cakes.

Remember, you're going to create your picture using only candy, fruit and nuts.

And you can also use sugar free candies and other colorful treats to create a healthier cake.

Your picture or scene doesn't have to be perfect, because your child is really going to appreciate the fact that YOU made this cake just for them.

And if you really don't think you can come up with picture or scene, try using jelly beans to form the words "happy birthday" or your child's name.

You can also use a variety of jelly bean colors to outline your cake. Or place a few pieces of candy in each cake slice or beside each serving of cake.

If your child and their guests are very young, be careful not to use small candies that can create a choking hazard.

Do you want a fun, easy and very unique way to decorate your child's kid birthday cakes? Then give this easy, creative idea a try.

With your child's favorite sweets you can create a sort of "Willy Wonka" candy world right on the top of your cake.

You'll have fun and your child will love the cake you've made just for them.

Have FUN
