#5 is a chocolate lover's dream.
Of all the birthday cake trends out there, number cakes — cakes in the shape of the age one is turning — might be the best. T=hey can be tricky to create and require LOTS of patience, the final effect is worth it. Ahead, take inspiration for ages 1 through 18. After that, it's up to your kids to start baking cakes for you.
A Cake That's Truly #1
There's so much deliciousness on top, I almost didn't notice the real flowers.
Doubly Sweet
A Mermaid Delight
Fondant Four
A Chocolate-Lover's Dream
And what a fancy-looking "5," too! The blackberries keep it from being too much of a chocolate overload.
Sleek Seven
Did you notice that the sides are lined in Kit-Kats? (I DID.)
Extra Personality
I don't personally know the birthday child in this instance, but through the characters, the gummy sodas, and the M&Ms, I think have a good handle on their personality just through the cake.
'Like' This Cake
Red, White, and Gold for the Mickey Mouse Fan
You have to go all-out when you hit the double digits.
Are Those Donuts on Top?
Stuffed With Joy
Note the the "1" and the "2" are different flavors, so the new 12-year-old can get a little of both.
Teenage Dream
If the "13" shape wasn't enough, there are also heart-shaped sweets on top.
Mini-Everything, Please
Notice the tiny cookies, donuts, and macarons on top of this one #bestlife.
Pretty in Pink
...or Do a Monogram
