Any celebration will be complete without a minion birthday cake that will bring a smile on the face of everyone. You have seen a Minion at work, and you understand how popular and entertaining it is. It is therefore natural that a cake that is inspired by these little yellow mischief-makers will do the same. This cake will steal the show whether you are holding a birthday party of your little one or an occasion of a big kid.
Let's start with the design. Minions are goofy and playful in appearance. Their eye is large and round, and of a yellow colour, and they have so much of those grins that people will never stop laughing at them. A minion birthday cake therefore ought to portray that power. The cake could be a single large Minion, as a whole cake, with his silly eyes coming out of the top, or it could be a multi-tiered cake, each tier being covered in the likeness of various Minions. You can even take it a notch higher and turn it into a cake which doubles as a scene with fondant Minions standing and playing on it. It is an actual spectacle, and people will have as much fun seeing it as they do consuming it.
On the side of colors, one will obviously see yellow as the star of the show. But you cannot forget blue--the overalls of the Minions. Good minion birthday cake will have those two colors in the limelight with yellow fondant or buttercream on the outer part and blue accents that will be making it pop. Make a couple of additional details, such as silver or grey piping to the straps on the overalls, and you in effect have a cake you can immediately identify, and that is a blast to stare at.
But we do know a cake is not all about the looks. It's got to taste great too! It can be easy and simple with a traditional chocolate or vanilla background though, what about adding a bit of the unexpected? A cake with banana flavor would be an ideal match with the Minion theme with an added fun approach that is connected to their affection to the banana. Another thing you can have is a nice buttercream that is creamy and another one is a rich caramel filling to balance out the cake sweetness. Ensure that they are light, so as to fit with the playful atmosphere popularized by the Minions, but at the same time, they should be rich enough to please any sweet tooth in the house.
There is no limit to the decorations as far as the sky is concerned. Minions are personality, and there is no reason not to bring a few weird details to your minion birthday cake. You may use 3D figurines of Minions created of fondant or use edible pictures to print out the pictures of the favorite Minions and place them on the cake. The other cute thing to do is to use small fondant items such as small bananas or even a small fondant Gru to complete the picture. Children will be excited about such information, and it will make the cake even more memorable.
Talking of surprise, what about concealing something within? Think about how good it would be to open the cake and get a sticky, yummy surprise inside in the middle-layer of creamy chocolate fudge or a filling of colorful sprinkles. And this added surprise will keep your guests talking about that cake well into the long term.
There is no need now to worry whether you have a budget or not. Minion birthday cake does not have to be fancy in order to be amazing. Even a plain round cake with a face of a Minion on it can create a splash. You do not have to make the multi level creation to impress the masses and at times a single layer with a fondant Minion on the top is all you require. And what comes out is the fun and personality of the Minions after all.
Timing is key, though. Such custom cakes are not easy to make in a short time, and they are full of fun details. So, be sure to order in advance. In that manner, you will have lots of time to ensure that everything is fine. And in case you pick it up yourself, do not forget to inspect the size and see it is large enough to accommodate your guest list!
A minion birthday cake is not all about the design or the flavor in the end of the day. It is all about the happiness it brings to the party. It is concerning the follies as the kids witness their favorite little yellow truants turned into a cake. It may be the playful procession, the vibrant colors or the hidden surprise that lies in the inside, this cake is sure to be a hit amongst the crowd. Why not, then treat the next celebration you have even more special with an extra playful and yet as sweet Minion cake.
