Ideas for Sports-Themed Birthday Cakes
- Order a cake in the shape of a large football for the football star in your family. You can also choose a sheet cake that looks like a football field and has small plastic players on the top. A cake in the shape of a football helmet that matches your son's favorite team colors and symbols can also work well for a sports birthday party. If you would rather make the cake yourself you can also buy small football helmets and use them to create a border around the sheet cake.
- Order a cake that looks like a giant golf ball or a miniature golf location. The cake can include all the little golf houses, pyramids and other obstacles. A cake in the shape of a golf bag resting on its side with clubs and golf balls coming out of it also serves as an attractive design.
- Order a cake for a surfer girl's birthday. Ask the baker to make a large sheet cake with waves on top and place a surfer girl figurine on top of the cake. You can also ask for a cake to feature a rainbow of surf boards around the border or opt for a beach scene that features palm trees and edible sea shells adjacent to the waves.
- Make or buy a cake in the shape of the birthday girl's favorite team jersey. Make sure the cake matches the colors and symbols on the jersey (bring a jersey to the baker to ensure the cake will turn out right). This sports-themed cake works well for almost any type of sport including soccer, baseball or football.
