Of course, the centrepiece of every dessert table should be the birthday cake. While a beautifully decorated birthday cake can shine on its own, it can also highlight the theme of the party and bring all of the decorations together. It is tradition to have the birthday cake at every party, but the visual impact of the birthday cake is somewhat under-appreciated. Birthday cakes, when combined with other desserts at the dessert table, can convey, for instance, a youthful playfulness or elegance. While all that is important, it is also important that the cake is pleasing to the birthday kid. Hence, the choice of birthday cakes and how it is decorated is of utmost importance!
