Picking a perfect cake is no less important – gathering round the birthday cake is a highlight of every party.

It may cross your mind that slaving away and making a homemade cake just isn’t worth it. Be sure that the kids will appreciate your effort and more importantly – these recipes are not as complicated as they may seem. These birthday cakes look amazing, but they can be easily made by beginners and they don’t require a full day spent in the kitchen.
Here are 5 most popular homemade cakes that will make your kids’ birthday a party to remember! Pick a cake that will suit the party theme, and amaze your birthday boy or girl and their friends!
Rainbow cake
Here’s something that will surely fascinate all party guests – a cake that’s bursting with color! If you believe that rainbow cake is hard to make, you’re mistaken – it’s really simple! Not only that it will fascinate both kids and adults by its looks but it tastes great, too. Probably the greatest thing about it is that you can choose any color you like. The beauty of this cake is in its layers – soft, delicious and fluffy “sponges” of different colors, most often enriched with cream cheese icing.
Hedgehog cake
Animal themed birthday cakes are, without a doubt, the cutest and most popular with kids of all ages. Teddy bear design has been the most common one, but we decided to place a hedgehog cake on our list – because it’s unique, equally gorgeous and usually made from the same ingredients (lots and lots of chocolate). The mix of cocoa, butter, eggs and vanilla makes a delicious cake, rich in taste. The trick is in making firm and precise spines, but this cake won’t deform – it can survive in the fridge for several days.
Princess castle cake
Princess castle cake, although extremely beautiful, is not something most mums will decide for (if they are the ones who need to make it). It’s true that making this cake requires certain skills, creativity and a bit more time spent in the kitchen. However, it’s not that difficult – it still falls into “light” category. In any case, making of this cake will surely amuse you and you’ll get the chance to test your culinary skills. However, the reward is huge – your girl and her friends will be delighted!
Rocket ship cake
Here is a cool cake idea if you’re having a birthday boy. As well as castle cake, it looks demanding, but it’s not. This rocket ship will certainly catch all the boys’ and girls’ eyes! When you see the expression on their faces, you’ll realize that making this cake was worth the effort! One great thing about it – it doesn’t contain allergens, so it’s suitable for everyone.
Candy cake
Here’s another colorful treat! Kids simply adore cakes decorated with candy. One of the most popular candy cakes is Kit Kat cake: vanilla flavored interior surrounded with Kit Kat bars and M&M’s poured over the top. If you think that some other candy will be more suitable, feel free to use it – we recommend chocolate malt balls as an equally tasty alternative! There’s one downside though – this buttery, vanilla and chocolate cake is almost too beautiful to eat!
