It used to be that 18th birthday cakes were made out of frilly white icing and delicate flowers, but this isn’t the 1800’s anymore. Novelty cakes add a creative, funky twist to your ordinary birthday cake and turns it into something more than just an edible centerpiece. I daresay that they’re a work of art.

For my 18th birthday I had my cake custom made at Claycakes and I helped Karla Magbanua, the owner and designer, design the cake. When coming up with a cake design for your debut, make sure that it conforms to the overall theme of your party so that it functions as a decoration on its own. I wanted a medieval theme for my debut so I requested that my cake have a castle tower on the third tier, with a figure of me peeking out the window. Since only the first layer of the cake is edible, I asked that little cupcakes be made for the guests to eat. The cake was made out of chocolate and came with a scrumptious caramel sauce. Unfortunately I didn’t get to eat much of the cake since I was too busy socializing with guests to eat anything.

Another great place to have a custom cake made is at Marta’s Cakes. Her designs make use of intricate designs and bright colors - perfect childrens’ birthday parties, or birthdays for children-at-heart.
