We all know how fun birthdays can be. When we are younger we love them but as we get older we start to loathe them. Each year we try to avoid all the birthday commotion and celebrations because its a reminder of how quickly time passes. For our friends however it is a time for them to get creative and pull pranks. We throw the big 50th birthday parties and get gag gifts like depends and walkers, and it can be quite a good time.
Another great way to add to the fun of someones birthday is by appropriately decorating their cake. Having a funny birthday cake will truly be one of the hot topics of the night. If the birthday person is particularly bah humbug about their birthday, you could get a cake that looks like the grim reaper accented with black candles to poke fun at their age. You could also get a cake designed to look like an older person with wrinkles or a picture of a stick figure hunched over with a walker. While they may cringe at the idea of getting older, this is a great time to poke some fun and remind them that growing older is inevitable so you can either embrace it or let it bring you down.
Of course for kids choosing a birthday cake is pretty easy. Have one designed using their favorite cartoon or movie characters. If they love sports, have a cake created with their favorite sports team or memorabilia. The possibilities are endless and they are certainly easy to please. They will wonder how on earth you were able to get such a cool cake! Birthdays are meant to be fun, so the next time someone you know is having a birthday, especially someone who is trying to avoid their upcoming birthday, get creative with your cake ideas to add some fun to the event.
