What cakes for those who don't want to grow up?
In our circle, there's that woman who, no matter her age, remains in her childhood or adolescence. Among them are those who haven't changed their way of dressing, those who play and collect toys from their childhood, those who continue to live like a young girl. For these women, there are cakes:
- The Barbie cake for adults
- The superheroine Wonder Woman
- The FRIENDS series from her childhood

Some suggestions for a woman's birthday cake
A large cake or individual ones?
The choice between a large cake and individual ones depends on several contexts. But if you can't decide, do both: a large cake for 8 servings and small individual cakes. The large one will be blown out and cut by the birthday girl and the individual ones will be distributed to the guests, like at a wedding. In what situation to choose one or the other?
- A large cake if the host decided and according to the number of guests
- A large cake if you want to be original like a design cake
- Individual servings to diversify the flavours so everyone can choose their favourite
- Small cakes to make sharing easier
A homemade cake or from a pastry chef?
It all depends on you, either is fine as long as it satisfies the birthday person. Some people have a knack for baking, others lack the time or skills and prefer to order from a professional. In both cases, make sure the cake is good.
Is a cake enough or are gifts also needed?
This is a question that often arises. If you come with the cake, should you also give a gift? Yes and no.
Yes, it would be better to give her a gift, because it's her birthday, and a gift is a keepsake she will cherish. A gift is a personal thing unless of course, it's a group gift.
No, you are not obliged if you really want to give a cake as a gift. However, if the person doesn't know that's your intention, inform her because she will surely expect to receive something else from you.
A cake with or without candles?
For a woman's birthday, a cake with candles is always better than a bare cake. Some guests fear offending the birthday person, but if she hasn't specifically mentioned it, put candles. In terms of choice, there are options for all women:
- Simple birthday candles: they are without numbers like classic candles.
- Candles with separate numbers and candles with a number
- Flower-shaped candles that open when lit
- Printed candles: characters, animals, her photo...
- "Happy Birthday" and "Joyeux Anniversaire" candles
- Candles with original shapes: unicorn, pizza slice, game controller, flower, star, heart, fruit, etc.
