Tiny Birthday Cakes

November 18, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 31 Comments

Isn’t this little cake cute?

Friday night we made twelve of them in preparation for Truffle’s birthday party on Saturday. She was having a doll tea party so naturally each doll had to have it’s own cake too.

For each tiny cake you need two sandwich cookies (we used Oreos), frosting and sprinkles.


Put a little frosting between both cookies to hold them together. Spread frosting around the edges of the “cake” first.

Put a dallop of frosting on a small plate. Ours are from a tea set. Then carefully place the cake in the center of the plate. Frost the top.


Add sprinkles in whatever design you want. We made ours to match Truffle’s birthday cake. Finish the cakes off with decorative piping around the top and bottom.


One little girl took a nibble out of hers and showed everyone how it looked just like a real layer cake!


These were so much fun and added just the right touch to the doll tea party.

    they are so cute.. it is like a cake we make here where you layer cookies with cream and jam (jelly) in a long line.. like a snake and then cover in cream.. the next day the cookie is all soft and it tastes exactly like cake!! No baking.. easy!! and it is stripey

    Keep these pictures. They will be evidence when your girls are teens that you actually do love them. They won’t believe it until you show them actual proof. What a great mom.

    Hey- I am in your FHE swap group and love to look at your blog! It is great! I love this idea. Quick question- what is the tree in the background of that one picture. It looks really cute, do you do something special with it?

    This is one of the cutest things that i have ever seen. SO easy and SO cute. I sent this link to just about everyone that I know. The little polka dot dishes are the exact dishes that I bought my grand daughter for Christmas. Thanks SO much for sharing this great idea!

    These are absolutely adorable. So sweet. What little girl wouldn’t love these for a party. They would make nice place setting treats for a ladies luncheon or dinner to or for young women as well. How fun.
