I was recently doing a blog post on my Birthday Party Blog when I stumbled across these very cool Birthday Cake Patterns and knew I just had to share them.

They are sold on Ebay from seller kidz-cakes and I think they are genius. The seller explains these came about when she herself was trying to find a pattern for one of her son's favorite characters for his birthday cake. All she was able to find were expensive pre-made cakes and she really wanted to make it herself. So she designed her own pattern for the cake and now has turned it into her own business. Now she sells lots of patterns and has expanded to include the kids most favorite and popular Characters.

All of the Cake Patterns are Easy to do and require No special Equipment. The seller has even said herself that she was never a Cake Decorator or Designer. You can also contact her prior or during the baking and decorating process and she would be more than happy to help if you need it. Now that is Customer Service.

Each Cake Pattern Includes the sellers delicious Butter Sponge Cake Recipe and the Paper Pattern to be used for each part of the cake.

You also get complete step by step instructions on Cake Preparation, Use of the Pattern, Ingredients and Decorating.

Here is a list of the Current Birthday Cake Patterns Available by Character:

• Spongebob
• Dora the Explorer
• Hello Kitty
• Ben 10
• Bob the Builder
• Spiderman
• Bart Simpson
• Peppa Pig & Georgie Pig
• Barney
• Thomas the Tank
• Winnie the Pooh
• Diego
• Mickey Mouse
• Mr. Men
  

So if you enjoy making your Birthday Cakes and you see the character you are looking for than give it a try. There is nothing better than being complimented on your own work vs. a store bought cake anytime. The other thing I like about these patterns - you will not find your neighbor having the same cake as you - for me that is important.
