I had a very special birthday cake made for my recent kid’s party. I was very disappointed when it seemed within an instant the cake was cut and eaten without any real notice to the beautiful design. I am even concerned that a proper picture wasn’t taken. Are there any ways to make a cake a more important part of the celebration at future parties?
Sounds like a delicious and beautiful cake. If you are looking for a fanciful centerpiece for your party table, the cake is often a great idea, especially if it is decorated to match your party theme. Even if you don’t have the cake as your centerpiece, place the cake in a public area so that people can see it throughout the party and it can be admired before you cut and serve the cake.
Is it always expected that birthday cake will be served at kids’ parties? We want to try something “different” as the sweet treat at out kid’s upcoming party, like decorating cookies or serving parfaits. Our kid really doesn’t like cake very much. Will other parents think this is strange?
The first and most important consideration is what the birthday kid will most enjoy. Let this consideration guide you in determining what to serve at your kids’ upcoming party. Traditionally speaking, cake is usually served at kids’ parties, but just because this is what is always served does not mean you must do the same, especially if your kid doesn’t like cake.
