Need a good kids cakes recipe book...

[hotcakes]

It's coming up to LO's birthday,and I want to get a recipe book about children's party cakes, but there are so many to choose from. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks! Not sure where to post this so might stick it in a few places!

Is it novelty-cake ideas you're looking for? If so, rather than trawling through cookery books, I find it easier to choose what I want (whatever DD is into at that time) and then just Google that for ideas.

Thanks. I might get the woman's weekly. Googling is a good idea, but I remember pouring over my mum's book as a child, so excited about which cake she would make this year, and looking at the ones we had had before... so I would love a real, actual, propr book iyswim.

Jane Asher?

Would second the Aussie Women's weekly cookbook here. It has every possible cake in it - I spent my childhood staring longingly at the ballet shoes cake wishing my mum wasn't completely inept at baking .

I was given a lovely cake recipe book (actually its cakes, biscuits, all things yummy) for kids called Kid's Baking. Its by Sara Lewis and published by Index. The ISBN no is 978-0-600-61697-9.
It kind of aimed at getting the kids to help out with the cakes, easy to follow etc. Hope that helps!

that Australian's women's weekly one is different to the one I have. But which ever one you get - it will be a treasured piece for you. My dds get to pick their cake from the book and they spend hours drooling and deciding.

this is the one I have

Have made a '5' garden with meringue grubs, ladybird cake, floral bouquet one for a 4 birthday, and a photoframe one for a 1st birthday.

I have that one too. I am absolutely useless at baking but have successfully made the number 4 with racing cars and the pirate ship for ds, and, even if I do say so myself, they looked great!!!! I have just bought another WW book, it has a train cake on the front. Ds has picked out 2 cakes so far and has decided to have a pretend birthday then his real one so that he can have both cakes!!!!!
