Birthday Cakes are a traditional treat each year, and they can easily be customized to reflect the loves and passions of the birthday boy or girl.

* A Favorite Animal
Just about every child has a favorite animal type they adore, whether it be a horse, a dolphin, a tiger, a penguin, or any other creature under the sun. Check out your local craft store for fun candle holders or decorations in that theme, or if you're more creative, try to make the entire cake in that shape.

* A Fun Sport
It's estimated that over half of all children are actively involved in some sort of sport. Which, given the overweight state of most adults, is a fantastic thing! Encourage your child's passion by decorating the cake on that sports theme. Many sports - such as soccer, baseball and bowling - are easy because the cake is already round!
