Themed decorations, unique shapes and exotic flavors can make a Sweet 16 cake extra special.
While a colorful or theme-inspired cake is a hit at birthday parties, it is perhaps even more important at mile markers such as a Sweet 16 birthday. The Sweet 16 birthday is usually a bigger deal for girls than boys, even though it marks the age when both genders are eligible to get their driver's license. Keep some of these birthday cake ideas in mind when you are ready to work out the details of a friend or family member's special day. Does this Spark an idea?
Cars & Driving
A teenager's 16th birthday is usually highlighted with the acquisition of a driver's license or even a first car, and incorporating these milestones into the party, decorations and cake is a great way to build on the anticipation and excitement of being able to drive. Cakes made in the shape of a car, decorated with driving symbols or simply topped with a plastic toy car are possibilities.
Numbers & Letters
A Sweet 16 party should celebrate the birthday boy or girl and highlight the celebrant's individuality. Cakes made in the shape of numbers one and six or the initials of the recipient offer a unique visual aspect as well as the benefit of being able to serve different flavors of cake to party-goers. Covering traditional square, circular or rectangular cakes with the number 16 or the recipient's initials is another great way to personalize the cake.
Themes & Specialty Cakes
If a theme has already been chosen for an upcoming Sweet 16 celebration, the birthday cake is a perfect place to highlight the colors, aspects and overall theme of the party. Plastic decorations and toppers, special candles or edible flowers are great for personalizing Sweet 16 birthday cakes and incorporating themes. Customized tower cakes or tiered cupcake cakes offer their own benefits for themed Sweet 16 parties, as they can be made in a variety of flavors and be constructed in many shapes and sizes.
