Birthday Cake Ideas for a Husband

Homemade birthday cakes are a fun way to showcase your husband's personality and make sure he gets his favorite cake. You don't need to have top-notch decorating skills to make a cake that's simple, fun and attractive.

Ice Cream Cake

  • Ice cream cakes are simple and delicious. All it takes it a homemade or store-bought cookie crust (such as Oreo or graham), a couple of pints of his favorite ice cream and whipped cream and chocolate sauce for decorating.

Car Cakes

  • If your husband loves vehicles, purchase a car-shaped cake mold and bake a cake that looks like his dream car.

Classic

  • Make a cake that highlights your sweetie's history by looking to the cakes his culture is known for: tres leches, Russian honey cake, sacher torte or black forest.

Sporty Cupcakes

  • Decorate cupcakes in the colors of his favorite sports team and purchase sports-themed decorations from a cake supply store. Write sports slogans or the numbers of his favorite players on the cupcakes with royal icing.

Photo cakes

  • Remind your husband how much his family loves him by asking a cake company to print a photograph of your kids on the birthday cake.

Achievement

  • If your husband loves fishing, hunting or golf, choose a cake that will remind him of a big accomplishment. Create a landscape and position plastic figures on the landscape to resemble a hunter making a difficult shot or a golfer getting a hole in one.
