If you have little ones in the toddler to kindergarten age range, there is probably a movie or cartoon that your child is obsessed with...maybe to the level of stalker-like tendencies. It comes with the age. If you’re smiling because it’s true for your little one, I’m going to guess that you have ALL THE TOYS for that character, or you’re considering getting ALL THE TOYS for a birthday present. Yes?
Why not use some of those little toys to decorate the birthday cake? Then you don’t have to fork over the cash for a fancy-pants bakery cake or settle for an ugly cake that barely looks like the character you were going for. Let’s use Daniel Tiger as an example, but you can apply this concept to any of the hundreds of characters that fill the toy aisles at Target. Adding little Daniel Tiger, Katerina and Owl to the cake, turns a plain cake into a Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood cake like magic!
The little red trolley is a nice touch on the cake table. Ding! Ding!
Tigers have stripes. Why not put some Fudge Stripe cookies on the table? Oh…those Keebler Elves make a good cookie!
Last, but not least….that cake topper! Personalized name cake toppers make any cake feel extra-special. What kid doesn’t love to see his name on something?
See how easy that was?
Here is where you can order a personalized cake topper in your choice of 20 colors.
