No matter how old Dad is, the little boy inside him wants a yummy birthday cake that is made especially for him. Show your dad just how special he is with a birthday cake tailored to what he loves. Does this Spark an idea?
Cake
Indulge Dad on his birthday with his favorite cake and the filling and icing of his choice. Let the little ones apply colored candies or premade icing decorations such as balloons.
Sports
If Dad is a sports fan, decorate his birthday cake with a theme from his favorite sport. A square cake can be made into a baseball diamond, a rectangular cake can become a football or soccer field, and a round cake can be decorated like a basketball or baseball.
Hobbies
Use fondant or marzipan to create edible decorations that look like playing cards, musical instruments, board game pieces, golf clubs or other items that reflect Dad's hobbies.
Professions
Use icing to draw items on the cake that are specific to Dad's daily work, such as tools, a briefcase or a computer.
Cars
Roll out fondant and cut it into the shape of Dad's dream car or truck; then decorate it with colorful icing. Or, make a rectangular cake look like a license plate that spells out a special birthday message.
