Baking cakes is cool again thanks to popular TV shows and cake competitions all over the country.  If you develop some skill with baking and decorating cakes, you will be the hit of every party that you go to and you may even be able to start a business out of it!

We are all trained to expect the rectangular birthday cakes with insanely sweet frosting that come from grocery store.  That’s what we’re used to since it’s much easier to go buy one instead of creating one.  You’re obviously here because you either don’t like those cakes or you really want to create something special for a loved one.  I applaud your efforts, and you’re going to make someone very happy!

Birthday Cake Pans

Birthday shaped cake pans can range from a set of simple squares up to an elaborate football stadium or train set.  The pans that you choose should match the party or the person that the party is for.  Birthdays are a special event, and a well planned cake will make it even more special!

Kids birthday cakes are easy.  You figure out what their favorite cartoon character is and find the pan to match.  Almost popular cartoon characters have their own shaped cake pan.  Bob The Builder, Dora The Explorer, and Spongebob are all some of the most popular cake pans right now.  The classics like Mickey Mouse, Spiderman, and Barbie will always be around, but are becoming harder to track down.

Grownup cakes don’t always depend so much on the cake shape, but on it’s decoration.  My favorite cake pans are a set of three squares from Wilton that are the perfect sizes to stack on top of each other and decorate from there.  I always start with a smooth layer of icing, or a sheet of fondant, and add things from their life or personality from there.  Another design that I like to do is come up with a pattern or swirls that fit their style well.  These small touches are really what takes a cake to the next level.

All great birthday cakes start with the right shaped cake pan.  Be sure that it’s the right one for you before you get baking!
