Parents nowadays listens too much to their children. Thus, their children will become too demanding. However, if you decide to let them choose their own party theme cake decorations, that won't be the case. On the other hand, you should let your child be involved during the preparation stage so they will appreciate their party more.

In case you think this sounds like a lot of effort, this is not so either, because what you really need is imagination. The following list serves as a breakdown of the process that you will probably go through:

1. What will the theme be?

2. Estimate the number of guests so that you know how big the cake should be.

3. Are you going to buy the cake or bake it yourself?

4. Decide on the party theme cake decorations to have; either use what you have or buy them.

5. Choose some birthday party candles to light up this event.

Are you getting all worried on the theme to select? Actually, this should be the easiest part; simply consult your child. If it does not sound right or doable for you, your child probably has some more in their imagination to share with you, if only you ask. That is the great thing about children; they are never short of ideas.

Knowing the theme alone is not enough. You should know how many people you are inviting to the party. This will determine the size of your cake and you can therefore plan your design. Bigger cakes seem flexible; however, planning is still important. A great cake doesn't look bare or messy. Great party theme along with a fantastic cake, wouldn't you want to invite more people to the party.

You can bake the cake if baking is your thing. You have the upper hand when doing it yourself but if you are not a baker yourself, you can still be thankful for a baker. Whatever it is, you should browse through and see whether you can get any ideas for your cake. Your cake should be suitable to the theme of the party.

Decorating for the cake is the best part. You can fool around as much as you can. You can use your own material for decoration or purchase them. Its up to you whether you want the d'cors to be foodstuffs or not.

For example, you can bake some cookies molded into stars and circles that say this is a theme of outer space. Perhaps a snowman made of cotton candy for a Christmas related theme. For the eyes and nose, it is just as easy to squeeze some edible colored cream to form these features. In fact, there is a lot that this cream can do. The same can be said for cookies, as long as you can find the molds desired. A few little toys can jazz up your creation too, and you may already have these at home.

Last but not least, don't forget to get birthday party candles too. Speaking of candles, there are quite a few choices to have. The most common ones are the little candles that you put into the cake to signify the person's age. Another kind of birthday party candles are the ones that play the birthday tune when lit up. This can take quite a simple form of a candle or a more animated one, such as the one which petals actually opens up one by one when it is lit.
