For a cake inspired by Disney’s Frozen, start with Elsa and the other characters  to coordinate your cake and table for a Frozen birthday party. Anna, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff offer more ideas for pictures and colours. The characters and images belong to their respective rights holders.

Edible cake sheets, three-dimensional figures and candles are three options to consider, depending on the cake covering and the space available. Use the photos for inspiration and check the size and features of your chosen product before buying.

For a simple Frozen cake, consider a printed edible cake sheet or wafer topper. Check its dimensions and shape, round or rectangular, against the cake surface. If using a wafer topper on whipped cream, check that the product is suitable for that covering and follow the manufacturer’s application and storage instructions.

For the design, take inspiration from Elsa, the snowman Olaf or Anna. Choose a layout that also leaves room for the birthday person’s name and age.

Follow the link to Frozen cake toppers to browse the range; the exact designs in the photos may no longer be available. Check the product page and label for materials, ingredients, allergens, instructions and image licensing information.

To echo the theme’s colours, consider a pearlescent food colour spray in blue or purple. On whipped cream, use only a product intended for that surface and follow the label’s directions, quantities and allergen information.

An ice effect can be the cake’s decorative theme. Options to consider include sugar crystals, including on a fondant covering. Check that the chosen decoration is edible and suitable for the covering, and read the ingredients and allergen information. Add the birthday person’s name without hiding the characters.

 

 

 

 

 

Frozen sugar figures and cake toppers

Before choosing a sugar topper, check its size, ingredients, allergens and whether it is edible; a photo cannot establish its material or how it was made. The subjects pictured include Elsa in 3D and Olaf. If you would rather model the figures yourself, consider white or coloured fondant and suitable food colours, following the product instructions. Decorations can be hard: do not give hard decorations directly to young children to eat.

Plastic figures are another option, provided they are suitable for the intended use on a cake. They are not edible: position them as instructed and remove them before cutting and serving.

Once you have chosen the cake decorations, repeat the characters and colours on the party table.

 

 

Candles for a Frozen cake

Place the candle where it leaves the characters and birthday message visible.
