Candy Birthday Cakes

I have been doing a lot of writing about unusual Birthday Cakes lately and then I came across these Candy Cakes. These cakes are just made up of Candy, still in their wrappers, from Top to Bottom.

It does not take much to create one of these Candy Cakes, just a whole bunch of your favorites candies, a Base and some fun Building and Stacking Skills. Ok and maybe some glue to hold it together.

Can you imagine the look on your guests faces when you have this cake sitting in the center of your party table? You can create a Candy Cake for the actual Birthday Cake or just to have one on the table and allow the guests to pick pieces off as a snack.

Either way I think these are so much fun and I am going to share some other Photos for inspiration and maybe you will have one of these Candy Cakes at your next party.

You did not think I would not tell you How to make a Candy Cake did you? Again it is not very hard to do at all - just requires some Good Stacking ability, lots of Yummy Candy and a minimal amount of supplies.

So here is what you would use for a Typical Candy Cake and remember you can build it any way you like this is just a guide:

• 8" Styrofoam Circle
• 6" Styrofoam Circle
• 4" Styrofoam Circle
• Cake Base - At least 10" Wide
• Low Temperature Glue Gun
• 5+ Bags of Candy

Then Just Glue your bases together and starting from the bottom up carefully glue on each piece of candy going around the base. Use smaller pieces of Candy to fill in any open spots so you do not see any of the base. Keep going all the way to the top. You can add in a Fun Cake Topper or Ribbons on the Top - whatever you like - This cake is only limited by your imagination.

TIP: I have seen that some people like to wrap the bases of their cakes with wrapping paper in Colors or Holiday Wrapping so if any parts do show through you would just see the color of the wrap, but it is really not necessary to do - just an option.

You can create your Candy Cake with any theme Holidays, Favorite Characters, Colors, Favorite Candies, Movie Night, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers etc...

• Holidays - Just choose Holiday Colored Candy and Candles based on the Holiday you choose
• Favorite Characters - You can do this by using some of the many Candy Wraps available. You can find lots of people selling Candy Wraps online or some even that offer FREE Candy Wrap Templates for printing. Candy Wraps are just Wrappers you can wrap around your Candy Bars like Hershey Bars, Chocolate Nuggets and you can even find Hershey Kiss Stickers (they you would just place your Kisses on their sides to reveal the bottoms). These are available in all the Characters and Designs. For Example - Your Child loves Justin Bieber - then get Candy Wrappers that have Justin Bieber on them and use them on the cake - Simple !!! Of course if you are creative yourself - they are easy to make and print up right from your computer.
  
• Colors - Working with a Color Scheme - then just choose Candies within your colors.
• Favorite Candies - Just get all your Favorites Candies and get building
• Movie Night - Having a Movie Night Party - Build your cake with all the typical Candy you would be able to get at the movies - for your topper use a Popcorn Container filled with even more Candies.

You get the idea ~ You can really go crazy with what you can do and the ideas are endless.

If you think you don't have what it takes to create your own Candy Cake - No need to worry - You can order one and have it send right to your home.

Here are a couple of my favorite places you can order them from (in every theme imaginable):

Of course a Candy Cake would be a perfect compliment to a Candyland Birthday Party Theme. So if you are planning a Candyland Party them you might just want to consider a Fun Candy Cake on the table for the kids to pick at. If you are worried about all that Candy and Sugar - then you can choose to mix in some healthy snacks like Fruit Snacks and place them on the Candy Cake to offset all the Candy.

You can even just have the kids each pick out 2-3 Candies on their way out to stick in their Party Favor Bags.
