Are you planning a birthday party?  Sure, you can go to a bakery and order an average looking birthday cake but making your own cake or cupcakes will save you tons of money and in my opinion, nothing tastes better than home made. 

Before you decide on which type of cake you will serve be sure to pop in at the number One Squidoo lens in the family category this week, 50 Kids Birthday Party Themes: Cake & Cupcake Pictures, Ideas and Supplies .  This recipe lens is amazing.  You can actually see the love that went into making it.  You’ll find links to all of the most popular kids birthday party themes, including recipes and hundreds of birthday cake photos.

Another place you’ll want to visit is Novelty Cake Pans where you’ll find dozens of delightful party cake pans to choose from.  Using a novelty cake pan makes it easy to create professional looking cakes that taste great and if you need help decorating, check out Wilton Cake Decorating for advice or to join a disussion about “First cake decorating experiences.”

Cupcakes are another alternative birthday dessert you will definitely want to think about.  Cupcakes are making a huge comeback in the birthday party scheme of things because they are easy to serve and affordable, not to mention cute!  And cupcakes aren’t just for kids anymore either.  Visit Bunches of Birthday Cupcakes to find not only the cutest kids cupcake ideas and recipes but also some delicious birthday cupcake recipes for grown-ups as well.

Whichever you choose to serve, a birthday cake or cupcakes, here’s wishing you a happy and successful birthday party!
