We all know what little boys love. While little girls love all things pink and pretty, little boys love all things gross and slimy. They want to play in the dirt. They want to pick up things girls would never touch. So, how do you create a homemade birthday cake that will suit the personality of a little boy? First of all, you think of what they like. You then draw out your design and then think of edible materials and toys that could be used to create that birthday cake theme. For the following birthday cake ideas, you will need to prepare a 9 x 13 inch cake. The flavor doesn’t matter; just choose what the little boy likes. Now, it’s time to get creative.
Birthday Cake Ideas for Little Boys #1: Monster Truck Theme
One birthday cake idea that little boys will simply love is the monster truck theme. This birthday cake is so much fun to make. For a monster truck themed birthday cake you will need chocolate frosting, two bags of crushed Oreos, Hot Wheels cars, and a Hot Wheels monster truck. Frost the cake as you normally would and then sprinkle on the first bag of crushed Oreos. Place the cars in a row in the center of the pan and then use the second bag of crushed Oreos to create two mounds of dirt. These mounds of dirt will serve as ramps. Place the monster truck at the bottom of one of the ramps. Then all you have to do is add candles.
Birthday Cake Ideas for Little Boys #2: Giant Insect Theme
You can find some really nasty candy in the stores these days. For example, the Jelly Belly Company makes giant gummy spiders. You can also find large chocolate insects. These types of candy add up to the perfect birthday cake for little boys. For this birthday cake, you will need chocolate frosting, a bag of coconut, green food coloring, and insect shaped candy. This birthday cake is meant to look like a yard, so you will need to color the coconut with the green food coloring. Once that is done frost the cake and then add the coconut on top. Then just add your bugs on top and you’re done.
Birthday Cake Ideas for Little Boys #3: Worms and Dirt Theme
Little boys love this birthday cake idea. A worms and dirt theme is not complicated at all. In fact, all you need to create this birthday cake is chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms. Frost the cake, add the crushed Oreos, and then add the gummy worms. I do suggest that you use several gummy worms, because little boys think that is the best part.
Birthday Cake Ideas for Little Boys #4: Reptile Theme
There are so many different shapes of gummy candies, which makes it easy to prepare several different types of birthday cakes. This is a more complicated design, but it’s another one that little boys will love. For this birthday cake, you will need chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, blue food coloring, gummy frogs, gummy crocodiles, gummy snakes, green Fruit Roll-Ups, marshmallow cream, and dark green sugar. The first thing you need to do is color the vanilla frosting with the blue food coloring. Then apply the frosting to the middle of the cake. Next frost the rest with the chocolate frosting. Then cut lily pads from the green fruit snacks. Place these on top of the blue frosting, which is your pond. Add gummy frogs on top of the lily pads and place the other gummy cakes around the cake. Next put blobs of marshmallow cream around the pond. These do not have to be perfect. Next shake on the green sugar. This will make the marshmallow cream look like bushes. This cake may take more time, but little boys are going to flip over all the candy and the theme of this birthday cake.
