Fabulous..and a must have cookbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: FamilyFun Birthday Cakes: 50 Cute and Easy Party Treats (Hardcover)
This book is terrific. It has wonderful cakes to make forchildren's parties. I already had several basic cake decorating books but this one had ideas that I had never seen before and which were easy but didn't look it. I made the under the sea cake for my daughters 6th birthday and it was a huge hit. It is my number one go to book when I am about to make a cake for a child's party. A definite must have for every family with children.

Book has good ideas,

This review is from: FamilyFun Birthday Cakes: 50 Cute and Easy Party Treats (Hardcover)
But it isn't as creative as I would like it to be. A lot of the cakes seem to be ways to decorate a regularly shaped cake or cupcakes with special candies, etc. I was really looking for a book with more ideas of ways to cut round and rectangle cakes to make 3-dimensional/more original cakes.
The instructions are good. Would also prefer if the pictures were more professional looking. I'm not a great decorator, but on some pages I think I could have done a better job than the decorator for the book.

Cool Cakes & cupcakes for your child's birthday or party!,
By KSL "emma-and-me" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FamilyFun Birthday Cakes: 50 Cute and Easy Party Treats (Hardcover)
Family Fun Magazine is awesome and here is sorta the best of the best of their ideas for the most creative and cool looking cakes that will make the supermarket pre-bought cakes look blah! Don't get me wrong, in a pinch or if you don't have the time, they are OK. These cakes are not that hard to make and will give your children the "wow, that's cool" and other parents and adults - " Who made this? Wow you made it, I gotta have the receipe for my.....!"
What is also nice is that some of the cakes have matching themed cupcakes, there are also ideas from other parents, and ideas for what you can also do themed wise for your party. Each cake has a very nice color photo, how you need to cut the cakes to make a certain shape,easy instructions. There are cakes & cupcakes for both girls & boys from pre-school age to teen years. For boys there is a Dump Truck, a Bowling pin & ball, Volcano, and Pirate Ship cake. For girls - Pink Pony head, Garden cake with flower cupcakes, and for teens and adults the hawaiian Beach Cake, Pizza, Burger & Hot dog cake & cupcakes just to name a few. My God-daughter had her friends over for the night and they made the Sleepover cake. It was a huge hit, the girls had lots of fun making it, took lots of photos with the cake and enjoyed every bite! You just can't go wrong with this or any other book by FamilyFun book or for monthly children's ideas subscribe to FamilyFun's monthly magazine! You'll love it and your children will also enjoy it!
