1. Angry Birds Birthday Cake

Angry Birds is one of the most popular smartphone games in the world. It has even inspired spinoffs, movies, and plushies! But nothing is cooler than a cake made to look like the game itself.

To create an Angry Birds birthday cake, you’ll need to find images of the birds and their environments online. You’ll also need to copy their eyes, beaks, and facial expressions. Then, you’ll need to place them on the cake. You can also add extra props to make the scene more realistic.

2. Harry Potter Birthday Cake

Hagrid, the lovable half-giant, gifted Harry Potter with a large sticky chocolate cake in the book and movie. It was pink with “Happee Birthdae Harry” written in green icing.

This recipe recreates the exact cake Hagrid gave Harry for his 11th birthday! It is easy to make and tastes great.

Spread the cooled cake rounds with chocolate icing and add your “Happee Birthdae” message (remember, Hagrid is not an expert baker!) or personalize it with a name!

3. Devilish Treat Birthday Cake

While some cake recipes get thrown into one big group, such as chocolate, red velvet, and devil’s food cakes, they each have their own distinct qualities. For example, a good devil’s food cake is fudgier and richer than most other chocolate cakes.

A devilish treat birthday cake is typically made with sour cream and coffee to create a moist, densely chocolatey, and slightly bitter flavor. It also relies on a high ratio of cocoa powder for a deep and delicious taste.

Fit a basket weave decorating tip into a pastry bag and fill with frosting mixture. Pipe short horizontal strips starting on edge of one drawn cord and ending at end of next vertical cord.
