Product Description

Why stick to the same old sheet cakes from your supermarket bakery to celebrate the special moments with your kids? Ditch the tired Barbie and G.I. Joe themes and make something truly special with Party Cut-Up Cakes for Kids! Perfect for birthdays, parties, holidays, and other special celebrations, Party Cut-Up Cakes teaches even novice bakers how to create spectacularly decorated cakes using standard cake pans and cake mixes, plus easy homemade frostings combined with your favorite colors, flavors and decorations to make custom cakes that will be the hit of the party!

From the Back Cover

Did you know you can create fun cakes of all shapes and sizes using a few basic cake pans? A square pan makes a pirate ship. A loaf pan and a small glass bowl make a car.

It's easy as 1-2-3 with Easy Cut-Up Cakes for Kids!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good cookbook! , October 24, 2007

By	C. Cruz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this cookbook after reading a small article about it in my local newspaper. There are 24 different cake designs that you can make. I made the teddy bear cake a few days ago. It was very simple to make and turned out very cute. All the recipes use boxed cakes and icing that you can purchase in the store. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to make "fun" cakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious family fun!, August 29, 2009

By	A. Moore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cookbook is a great, easy tutorial on how to make fun and delicious birthday cakes for your children. It was a huge tradition in my family to have Mom bake our birthday cake. These days, I've noticed that most moms are purchasing their kids' birthday cakes from grocery stores. This cookbook allows you to easily create that personal touch for your kids, and even involve them in the baking and decorating experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great fun book!, July 31, 2008

This is a cute fun little book. The cakes are so cute and they are easy to make. Each design has clear directions on how to make the cake to the right shape. We made the pirate ship cake for my sister's birthday and she said it's the most fun cake she's ever had. We are looking forward to trying more cakes from the book.
