Tips, advice and recipes for novelty birthday cakes and cake decorating
Laura from the UK recently sent us a picture of this Wii Cake (or could be an Xbox cake…I’m not really that up with the games consoles and controllers!). Nice one Laura and I’m sure a popular cake for the kids! Claire from the Blue Mountains in NSW, Australia sent an Xbox cake in a little while back which is a similar theme.
Thanks Laura for sending in your lovely wedding cake. If you have cakes you want to send in for the site, please do! Just email me at sandy@mynoveltybirthdaycakes.com.
I must say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pink wedding cake. Joan, from Staffordshire, UK, sent this picture of her beautiful pink butterfly cake that she made for a wedding recently. It is very pretty and looks like quite some time and effort has gone into this one!
Joan is a regular contributor to our site and is no stranger to making a beautiful wedding cake, check out this masterpiece of a wedding cake that we’ve had on our site previously.

Priscilla from Southport in Queensland, Australia has been busy! She recently sent us a heap of pictures of the cakes that she has been making, including this pink flowers cake and now an Orange Rose Cake. Looks like very detailed work, well done Priscilla!

Although not technically a novelty birthday cake, this very elegant and delicate looking Christening Cake deserves a spot on this site with all of our fantastic cakes. It was made by Kirsty, who also have shown us the Jungle Cake and helped us to product the Chuggington Cake Tutorial.
Have a look at the delicate creation of the little booties and the cross-cross pattern with beading on the sides of the cake. It really is a very stylish cake.

Recently I took my son to a birthday party for one of his little friends, Jade who was turning 4. Jane’s very clever Aunty had put together this great Dora the Explorer cake so I was sure to get a picture for us.
As you can see, there is a really clever use of lollies/sweets to form the scenary and then a few of the main characters from Dora the Explorer placed on the cake finish it off nicely. Sometimes when you see a cake like this and how well it turns out it inspires you to have a go too – so hopefully, those people who look at some of the more extravagant and complex novelty birthday cakes that we see and think ‘I could never do that’ may look at this one and think ‘I could have a go at that!”.

Margaret from Tamworth, UK, sent in this cute pink doll cake, complete with it’s own little cupcake! This creation cake from a Debbie Brown book. We have previously mentioned a Debbie Brown book in this post – the 50 Easy Party Books, which is quite a popular little book.
Margaret tells us that the model on the cake is actually marshmallow, rice crispies and butter, moulded into the desired shape and covered in icing. Wow! Whoever would have thought to do that! Well, Debbie Brown did, I guess – and Margaret! It looks fantastic!
Thanks for sharing your cake with us, Margaret. If you have cakes you want to send in for the site, please do! Just email me at sandy@mynoveltybirthdaycakes.com.
Laura from the UK sent in a few cakes recently, including this Penguin Cake or is it a Snow Cake? Either way, the penguins are very cute. Well done, Laura!
I’m not sure yet where in the UK Laura is from yet but she tells me that she’s an amateur at the cake making business – looks like you’re doing pretty well so far, Laura!

This beautiful flowers cake was decorated by Priscilla from Southport in Queensland, Australia.

Priscilla learns about cake making and decorating through books and videos on the computer – amazing!
This Pink Flowers Cake looks like it might have taken some time! Great job Priscilla.

I’ve had this picture on my iPhone since before Christmas and have been meaning to post it! We went to a great Christmas barbeque with my partner’s work, lots of kids and playing and food. Great fun.
One of the girls had made a fabulous Christmas Cake which she says was extremely easy and very yummy! It’s a chocolate cake decorated to form a Christmas tree with some Mint Leaves, Jaffas and a Tim Tam to top it off! If you’re not from Australia then trust us, Tim Tams are awesome!!
This is a really cute little racing car cake sent in by Joan of Staffordshire, UK. We’ve had a few good car related cakeson My Novelty Birthday Cakes, including racing car cake from Margaret in Tamworth, UK and this car garage cake, also from Joan.
My son loves racing cars and he loved seeing this cake. As Joan pointed out to me in her email, this sort of cake is really useful – for many different age groups!
