19 Of The Best Boys Birthday Cakes

Boys Birthday Cakes - Title

Designing birthday parties for kids can be so much fun. For some reason, no matter how busy we are and how much work is involved, we love to delight our little ones.

Witnessing the smile on their face (or the icing as the case may be!) makes all the hard work worth it.

Having boys birthday cakes that reflect the joy your boy has brought to you, your friends, your family and – let’s face it – the whole world, is an important part of the birthday celebration.

The good news is that, if you don’t want to make the cake yourself you can outsource the task to a professional (or a really talented Aunty!).

The key is making something that looks awesome – a feast for the eyes and the camera. Making sure it’s also delicious is a beautiful bonus for the grown ups.

This selection of 19 cakes features ideas for those who want to revel in the blue and those who have baby boys, little boys or teenage boys. There are also ideas for boys who love sports, cartoons, films and TV.

Smash cake anyone? Your boy will love the yummy mess!

A taste of blue

Let’s kick start this cake tour with something for traditionalists who want to revel in blue for their boy, often a great colour for 1st and 2nd birthday parties. To tone the ‘blue is for boys’ concept down a bit, you can get creative with the addition of other colours and themes.

It could be something he watches regularly on TV or something that’s a new big cinema hit. Either way, he loves it and he’ll love a cake of it.

Film and TV inspired cakes for boys

The great thing with cakes that you can’t do with movies is mix up your super heroes. If you want a Marvel Comics Spiderman with your DC Comics Batman and Superman you can. If you want to combine Star Wars with Lego you can. It’s your creation. Cakes from film and television can also inspire themed parties. Superhero party anyone? Cake sorted.
