Construction Cake Ideas

A Construction party is the ideal party for an Bob the Builder cake. A Bob the Builder cake will be a great addition to a Construction party and most of your guests will enjoy the added attraction. This cake is made using two round white cakes and one square sheet cake. The square cake will be the body with one round cake being the head of the Bob the Builder and the other being cut for the hat and tool bag.

Once these cakes have been put together a ton of different shades of icing needs to be mixed and then spread over the cake. This icing can be made by mixing different food coloring in with butter cream or white icing. After the icing has hardened, the Bob the Builder cake will come to life as you use chocolate frosting to create the eyes, nose and mustache. Additional features can be added to your Bob the Builder and the Bob the Builder cake will take shape.

As with most party themes, the Construction party theme should be apparent throughout the area and party supplies such as party streamers, balloons and Bob the Builder centerpieces created with plastic tools will only add to the party. Traditionally, a Construction party was planned only for a boy’s birthday, but some girls may also enjoy Bob the Builder theme. Therefore, the Bob the Builder cake that is chosen for this Construction party should be distinctively decorated for either a girl or boy.
