I am trying to make my daughters first birthday cake but am kind of worried about how everything will turn out. I am rather new to decorating cakes. I have been making cakes for years with no problem but wanted to start decorating them. I was wanting some ideas on what I can do that wont be to hard but will look great for a girls first bday. I have seen so many nice cakes in on this website and I knew if I was going to get help it would be here. Also her birthday party is on saturday at 1:00 pm when do you think I should get started?
What is your daughter into? You could do a character cake from a Wilton pan of somebody she likes. Or a FBCT of a character she likes...Pooh, or Minnie or whoever.
Or just do a cake with some flowers on it, something bright and colorful. I would suggest also searching the galleries under the children's birthday albums, for ideas. If you need to know how to execute something, you could pm the person who posted the picture, it would tell you if it's too difficult for you to do. Good luck, and post a picture when you finish it.
Oh, and if the party's Saturday at 1, I would usually bake and decorate Friday, if you are going to be able to be home all day.
Do you have a theme in mind? That would help you get started.
I would bake Thursday and decorate Friday so you're free to get the kitchen back to normal before the party, trust me it can take days to do that. The cake will be fine that long, I've decorated on Thursday for cakes served on Saturday and they were fine.
My husband has now informed me that we are going to need two cakes because we are going to have more people then I thought at first. I was thinking about basketweaving on the outside of the cake with maybe some flowers and butterflies or something. I have no clue but so I will probably just use like one kind of flower on one and then a different one on the other or something. With doing basketweaving should I still do a crumb coating under it?
