Making a themed birthday cake is so much fun, but you have to know what the birthday person likes and what their hobby is. You can decorate cakes in various ways, such as for sport lovers - soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, golf. For other interests you can make car cakes, casino games - such as slot machines, black jack tables or poker tables , etc. Cakes decorated like a cigar box or a wine bottle are also popular.
A few years ago I made a fishing themed cake for my husband's birthday.
The cake was covered with fondant and decorated with fondant figurines - fisherman, dog, fish and daisies, which I made two days in advance. The dog is cute, isn't it?
For my friend - Tamaz, I made a wine bottle cake. Truthfully, it wasn't easy to make a wine bottle. People asked me, if the bottle was cake also? Yes, bottle was cake also and read "Georgian wine--Kvanchkara" which is delicious red Georgian wine.
This cake was made for Giacomo who likes to play poker, I was going to make either a poker or black jack table cake, but I didn't have enough time. As I was browsing cakes online, I saw the cake which looked like ace of hearts and substituted it for the above. It came out looking better than I saw on the Internet.
The cake is very easy to make: 1. make a buttercream icing and ice the cake. 2. roll out the fondant and cut out three hearts, one big, two small and put on the cake. Writing on the cake can be done by using fondant or buttercream icing.
