Alternative birthday cake ideas

It can be pretty stressful getting a childrens birthday party organised, before you have even thought about the cake. There is never enough cake to go around at the end of the event, or worse your choice of design gets criticised.

We came across this great American website and have already used it for 2 kids birthday parties in 2 different ways! With one of the parties we decided to make the cupcake decorating a part of the party - we simply baked 36 cupcakes and got plenty of decorative pieces for the children to use. The second party we baked and decorated the cupcakes all by our selves (ok with a little help from some smaller fingers). Not only did this make life a little easier when it came to getting the party organised, but it also made the children much more involved in a core part of any birthday celebration!
