Cake Decorating For Adult Birthdays: Just Cause Your Grown Up Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Have Cake!


Cake decorating done for an adult’s birthday need not be boring or ugly. Unless the adult specifically says: “I prefer things that are boring and ugly.” Most adults today need some lighthearted fun and and a dose of sugar in their lives. Cakes for adults can be decorated with many fun things, like a smiley face, or a castle or a recreation of a Jackson Pollock painting.

Rice Cake Crunchers

Grab two square cake pan and fill them with 2 batches of rice cereal treat dough. Just use the recipe on the back of the box, and fill up your cake pans. After they cool down don’t cut the treats, just take them from the pans as they are!

Cover the top of the first layer with icing, and then a layer of chocolate chips, and a second layer of icing, and then a layer of multicolored sprinkles, and a third layer of icing. Place the second layer of the crunchie cake on top and frost the whole thing as you would any normal cake. Place a layer of colored chocolate candy on the top. You can even put the name of the recipient in candy. Unless your friend is Sri Lankan and named Samaranthawanarawashatam, in which case you’ll need to shorten it to Sam.

The “past your prime” Graveyard cake

Prepare and bake 2 cake mixes together in some sort of roasting pan. Make a quick gray icing with just 2 drops of red and green food coloring. Mix this with some white icing, and ice your whole cake with this concoction. Line some sidewalks with thin black licorice. Dot candy corn on the outsides of the cake. And use some rectangular cookies for gravestones. Just ice them with a darker gray icing!

During Halloween it’s easy to find gummy skeletons, or you can make your own out of toothpicks and jelly beans for heads. Or you can just use real skeletons, like from a toad or salamander. Ghosts can be made from cotton balls, but make sure that no cotton gets in the icing or inside your ear canal. You can also make the ghosts out of construction paper and stick them on a Popsicle stick. Making a cake with the theme of death, decay and the demise of the corporeal body for your friend who is slightly older is absolutely hilarious ! Who wouldn’t love being kidded in such a way as they reach a certain birthday? Such a cake is not a morbidly inappropriate, insensitive and cruel joke at all. It is innocent and playful hijinx! Yes, keep telling yourself that.

The old “ball and chain” cake for the Birthday

This is just simply a fantastic idea if it’s commissioned by the husband or the wife. Balls and chains might not be funny to released convicts, but they are hilarious to married couples and their friends. Bake two round cakes and then let them cool completely, as always. Remove from pan. Cover with favorite fruit pie filling, then put the second layer on, and ice from head to toe.

Buy a bag of small cake donuts. Frost them with the same decoration as you did your cake. On the cake board, place one of them against the bottom of the cake. Follow this with more donuts to make a chain, adding additional decorations along the way if you like.

It won’t matter what theme you’ll choose, because your cake decorations will be appreciated no matter what. They’re probably just glad they have friends at all, no matter how passively aggressively demeaning and insulting those friends can be. Make sure to bring plenty of candles as you’ll always need more for effect. A nice touch is buying personalized candles that can’t be blown out. Your one step away from getting tiny firecrackers that will send cake shrapnel into everyone’s faces. Take that, elderly friend!
