Hi there twinklestar1. I'm looking for birthday cake recipes too. I've just been on google and searched "birthday cake recipes". There's quite a bit - you just have to do a bit of on line searching. I've managed to find a Dora the Explorer birthday cake recipe using the Nickjr website. I'd say have a look - there's definitely lots to be found.

recipes.... what kind of cake do you like? I have quite a few recipes. Jsut let me know what you like and I will look it up.

Designs.... what does your DS like? You really arent limited... you can make anything. Think of what he likes and let me knwo and I will think up how to make it for you - my mum is a cake decorator and I used to help her lots.

I'm making DS a catepillar cake for his 1st birthday.... only cos he is too young to decide himself so I figured I would just do something easy. Think I am going to make marble cake...

We're doing a mouse ran up the clock cake. Banana so I don't have to put sugar in!

Marble cakes are always fun. You can have as may colours as you want and the are usually choc straw and vanilla

there are some great ideas for cakes on here and instructions from other mums as to how they made the cakes, i have made a couple of cakes from here

Also look at recipe find on nine msn site, they have that ladybug cake on there from the womens weekly kids cake cookbook

The Woman's Weekly Birthday Cake book is awesome. I really recommend it for all families! It's been around for decades, but is timeless.

It was always a tradition in my family growing up that my sister and I got to pick out which cake wanted for our B'day from this book and mum had to cook it :D

I am carrying on that tradition :yes:

The book just makes them so easy to make- it uses packet cakes in all recipies for ease and for people like me that go into full-scale panic the night before birthdays :) . It specifies how to cut up the cakes and decorate.

The last two cakes from this book that I have made:
Choo Choo! (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m312/pookiesossige/ChooChoooo.jpg)

Pee Peep! (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m312/pookiesossige/Ronans3rdbdaycake.jpg)

Yeah, I have that book, it's got some really great ideas :), templates and all.

For my daughter's two birthdays I asked her what she wanted.

First birthday I didn't get much of a response :laughing: but she was mad on cats at the time, so I made one from scratch - had a bit of trouble with the chocolate cake being crumbly to cut though, and I used glace icing which was runny and messy and hard to put on the cake.

Second birthday she decided she wanted a 'Twinkle Star' cake, so I used 2x Packet Mixes like that Kid's Cake book suggested, marbled them and joined them with jam, then used the book's recipe for Buttercream icing. The stars I piped out of white chocolate onto baking paper with a homemade star template underneath, then sprinkled um, sprinkles, lol, on them before they dried. You could change the colours or do different shapes or... *shrugs*

Here's the pics if you're interested:
