Cake is the main dish of any children's party. The birthday boy and his guests are looking forward to it, and all parents want to please and pleasantly surprise the child. Choosing the filling is the easiest thing: just know the child’s tastes. Some boys are crazy about biscuits and yoghurt filling, others are crazy about the classic “Rime” or grilled meat.
Birthday cake design requires creativity. The most common option for decorating birthday cakes is with a three-dimensional number corresponding to the boy’s age. You can play with the number in different ways: by surrounding it with edible flowers, fruits and berries, figurines of your favorite fairy-tale heroes or cartoon characters.
Figurines are another popular motif that appeals to boys of all ages. Many parents order cakes with typically “male” cartoon and comic book characters: Spider-Man, Batman, “Cars” characters. But when choosing a design, the main thing is to take into account the child’s tastes, and modern boys are not necessarily keen on superheroes (although they often really are). Many children love new Disney cartoons like “Frozen” or “Moana,” while others are crazy about “Despicable Me.” Pay attention to which cartoons and fairy tales your child likes the most, and order cake decorations with characters from these stories.
As we grow older, fairy-tale heroes fade into the background. Boys are starting to like desserts that reflect their hobbies: sports, photography, video games, engineering and computers. In addition, you can throw a themed party for your child and order a cake in the spirit of the holiday: in the style of sea voyages, Star Wars or other space adventures.

- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 2 tablespoons butter (or 20 grams)
To prepare such a bright and colorful cake, follow these steps:
- Place a saucepan with granulated sugar, milk, butter and honey on low heat. When the butter and honey are well dissolved, remove the pan from the stove.
- Add baking soda to the melted ingredients. Foaming will begin. Stir until the soda dissolves well. Set the pan aside and let the mixture cool slightly.
- When the melted mixture becomes warm, add the egg and mix well. The white of this egg can be beaten in advance to make it fluffy. Thanks to this technique, the dough will become tender and soft after baking.
- Finally add cocoa and flour. Stir and place the dough on the table.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour, after placing it in a bowl and covering with cling film or a lid.
- Divide the dough into 3 parts, roll out on parchment paper. Place each sheet back in the refrigerator and then cut out the number. Do this with each sheet.

Chocolate fudge is prepared as follows:

- Add 2 tablespoons cocoa and 2 tablespoons butter (or 20 grams).
- Now place the saucepan on low heat and, stirring, cook the fudge for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. The fudge should thicken a little, but not burn. If you see that it is still liquid, then cook for a couple more minutes.
Now start decorating the cake:
- First, pipe cream into one cake layer in the form of large lumps.
- Then repeat this with other cake layers, covering the previous ones with them. Two cake layers need to be coated with cream, covered with a third cake layer and combined into a cake.
