One's Sweet Sixteen cake is supposed to be the "sweetest" yet. This birthday celebration is special and the cake should showcase the event. After all, the cake is the centerpiece of a birthday party. There are no limits on what type of cake you can make. Ask the birthday girl or boy for ideas and work your baking and cake decorating magic. Does this Spark an idea?
Pink Lady Cake
A pink lady cake adds glam and a girly vibe to a Sweet Sixteen birthday girl's party. It can be created by making a four-tier cake with different shades of pink frosting on each layer as well as a different decoration style. This unique cake idea can incorporate pearls, polka dots or sparkles to go over-the-top girly. This would work well with a glamor or "Pretty in Pink" party theme.
Snowflake Cake
For a winter-themed Sweet Sixteen party, a Winter Wonderland or snowflake cake would be well suited. Create a snowflake cake from a white chocolate cake with white frosting. Decorate it with fondant and snowflake cookie cutter cutouts. Additional table decorations of snowflakes as well as hanging snowflakes can be scattered throughout the party space.
Casino Night Cake
If you're looking for a theme for your Sweet Sixteen as well, consider a casino night. Create a yellow cake with buttercream frosting and any filling the birthday girl or boy enjoys. Decorate the cake with card suits such as diamonds or spades. Red candy hearts are a great addition to this cake. Place actual playing cards around the exterior of the cake or use dice as additional cake props.
Strawberry Shortcake
A strawberry shortcake is an unconventional Sweet Sixteen idea. Split a cake in half and place strawberry filling in between the two parts. Finish by icing with any white or buttercream frosting. Add white chocolate- or milk chocolate-dipped strawberries along the outside of the cake. This cake is a touch more classy than a typical birthday cake and perfect for a Sweet Sixteen celebration.
Flower Cake
Decorate the cake with edible flowers or other flower cake decorations. Create a beautiful flower arrangement to place next to the cake. This works great for a garden party-themed Sweet Sixteen party.
