Make a Cake Fit for a Star
A Hollywood birthday party theme is suitable for kids, teens or adults. After sending out glitzy invitations and selecting glamorous decorations, it is time to turn the focus to the ever-important birthday cake. There is a Hollywood-style birthday cake to suit every personality, from the wannabe superhero to the aspirant filmmaker to the family diva. All that is needed is a dash of originality, a spoonful of effort, and a heaping cup of affection.
Instructions
Walk of Fame Cake
1. Bake two 8-inch by 8-inch square cakes. Evenly cut all four corners off of one cake so that a diamond shape remains.
2. Discard or put away the diamond shaped piece. Place the four cut corners around the edge of the remaining square cake to form a star.
3. Make sugar cookie dough and form a round, flat cookie several inches in diameter. Place a child's hand in the dough to make a hand imprint. Bake the cookie as directed.
4. Frost the cake with your choice of frosting. Place the cookie in the middle of the cake.
5. Write "Happy Birthday" and the name of the birthday person on the cake using a tube of icing. Try to write in a fancy script.
Clapper Board Cake
6. Bake a 13-inch by 9-inch sheet cake in the flavor of your choice. Allow it to cool completely and remove it from the pan.
7. Cut a 2 to 3-inch slice off one of the long sides of the cake. Set the cake on a platter or large cake board. Set the large cake straight on the board. Set the sliced piece at a 45-degree angle to the large cake.
8. Frost all of the cake with black or dark brown frosting. Use white frosting to draw diagonal lines on both the thin slice of cake and a 2 to 3-inch edge of the large cake adjacent to the smaller piece.
9. Write "Happy Birthday" in white icing on the black area of the cake. Use a spatula or your fingertip to smear the lettering so that it has a chalk-like appearance.
