The problem most bakers have, especially beginners, is choosing birthday cake pans in the shape that best suits the party. Where do you begin?
The top tip, I give beginners is to decide on a theme for the party. This will help them determine the shape of the birthday cake pan that they’ll need. But, how do you figure out the theme?
For those who want to know how to decide on a theme, and help you choose the shape of the birthday cake pans, here are some tips that will help you:
1. What TV or movies does your child enjoy watching?
Here’s how this will help you choose a birthday cake pan. Your kids love watching certain TV shows. It could be Sponge Bob Square Pants, Sesame Street, Barney, or any other television show. They may also enjoy watching a movie over and over again.
For example, I have a niece that’s grown up now. But when she was little, she really loved the Little Mermaid. She was staying with us one summer, and I remember watching that movie every day she was with us. It would have been easy choosing a birthday cake pan shape for her.
2. What sports or games does your child like to play?
These days, most kids are involved in one sport or another. This is a great opportunity for you to be able to choose a birthday cake pan.
For example, do they play Little League baseball, Pop Warner Football, Tee Ball? What about soccer? Some kids even like doing karate or tae kwon do.
Once you figure out what your child like to play, you’ll be able to choose the birthday cake pan shape that matches that sport’s theme.
3. What books does your child like to read?
Knowing this will help you choose a birthday cake pan. All you have to do is think about what books your child likes for you to read them.
If your child, or children, are old enough to read on their own, then what are their favorite books? Do they prefer a certain genre like mystery, science fiction, or fantasy? By knowing the types of books they like, this is another way to choose a birthday cake pan.
When you figure out what your children enjoy the most, you’ll be able to decide on the theme of their birthday party. You’ll then be able to choose the right birthday cake pan that goes with that theme.
