You should bake the cake the day before the game to give them time to cool, then decorate on the morning of your child's birthday. Let yourself plenty of time to decorate for you to correct mistakes without feeling too much pressure.
Caterpillar Cake
This is the best for the young and super easy to do. Instead of using cake pans, cake that is baked in muffin tins. You need a bun to each guest, so if you have invited six children and their mothers, will have 14 cupcakes. Although you can use muffin papers, which must be removed before the end of the cake.
On a large platter, arrange the cupcakes in a wavy line forming the body of the caterpillar. Maybe the ice in the way you want, each cupcake with a different color, or the same with the letters spelling the name of birthday child, or even with spots made of candy! Head of the caterpillar eyes need to do with the circles of chocolate and a little white icing.
For legs, you will need to cut strips of red or black licorice into 3 "long and add a 2 per cupcake, lying on the tray. You can add the cherry shoes, if you like, just drops at the end of each stage , but this isn 't necessary. Two antennas of licorice is a nice touch too! And you have to have a birthday cake too easy to not even have to cut!
To make this fun cake will have to cook three rectangular layers. Place one above the other so you have a double layer, then use the third for the "teeth" of the Lego cake. You have to use a round cookie cutter, about 2.5 to 3 "in diameter. Cut 6 or 8 rounds, depending on the size of the cake.
Use ice to add "teeth" to the top of the piece of Lego. This might be easier if we first ice cake and teeth separately, then connect and smooth the icing around the base of the teeth. The cake in your child's favorite color.
