Cake Pans
At a time when the market is flooded with all shapes of cake pans, it is easy enough to bake a birthday cake that will endear you to your kid until his or her next birthday. Pans are no longer limited to the rounds, squares, and rectangles your mom used when she baked cakes for your birthday parties as a kid.
These days, you can have cars, cartoon characters, superheroes, or any other shape you can think of. Your problem will not be looking for a pan, rather it will be deciding which pan to look for.
You can begin by observing, or perhaps asking, your kid’s favorite TV shows. If he or she enjoys watching Fairly Odd Parents, you can have a cake looking like Cosmo and Wanda. He’ll surely love it.
If your child loves sports, you can have a cake featuring his favorite game. There are pans for all kinds of sports, from ball games like baseball, football, or basketball; to martial arts as karate or tae kwon do.
Your kid may also like to read books. If Harry Potter is a favorite, you can buy a pan to create a cake featuring one of the characters of the wizarding world.
You will still have one problem after baking the cake –your kid may not want to cut up and eat it but rather keep it until his or her next birthday.
