Here, you’ll find 16 stunning Bluey cake ideas perfect to celebrate a birthday or any kind of occasion, including easy designs with instructions to recreate them. If you’re looking for inspiration to place an order with your local baker, or you want to recreate one of these cakes yourself, you’re in the perfect place.
How to find a Bluey cake idea suited to your cake-decorating level?
I’ve come up with a system. The cake ideas are presented to you according to their level of difficulty. There are three categories :
What Are Beginner Cake Ideas?
These are easy cake ideas. If you’ve never decorated a cake before (or only did it once or twice), these are the cakes that you should pay attention to.
- What you’ll find: Beautiful cake ideas that only require basic cake decorating techniques. This is a great place to start your journey.
What Are Intermediate Cake Ideas?
Low Intermediate Baker: If you are confident that you’ve mastered the cake decorating basics, such as how to smooth a cake, but feel like you still have a lot of techniques to learn apart from this foundation, this category is perfect for you.
- What you’ll find: Cake ideas that require both basic decorating skills and one or two techniques that are a little bit more advanced. This is a great place to grow your cake-decorating skills.
High Intermediate Baker: If you’ve mastered both basic techniques and several more advanced cake decorating techniques, these cake ideas are made for you.
- What you’ll find: Stunning cake ideas that can be fairly challenging, but are a great place to get even better than you already are.
What Are Advanced Cake Ideas?
If you consider yourself an experienced cake decorator and have mastered most of the decorating techniques, including the use of fondant, then this is the perfect place for you.
- What you’ll find: Showstopping and challenging cake ideas, perfect to sharpen and maintain your skills.
The Grading System
Finally, I’ve also assigned a grade of difficulty to each cake inspiration: 1/5 being the easiest design and 5/5 being the hardest. The goal is to make the ranking the most accurate possible. You will find this to be particularly helpful if you happen to fall in the Beginner or the Intermediate Cake Ideas categories.

Bluey Cake Ideas For Beginner Bakers
Here, you’ll find 3 Bluey cake ideas perfect for beginner bakers.
Simple Bluey Cake
Difficulty Level: 1,5/5.
This cake is perfect for you if you’re looking for a fairly simple design. It’s also a perfect fit for beginner cake decorators.
What you will need :
- Enough frosting to cover and decorate your cake.
- A piping bag with an open star piping tip (such as the 1M by Wilton)
- Bluey cake toppers and decoration.
- Sprinkles.
How to recreate this cake?
- For the buttercream cover. First, you must crumb-coat the cake to avoid any crumbs in your final design. Apply a thin and even coat of frosting with your offset spatula all around your cake.
- Smooth it with your bench scraper, holding it at a 45-degree angle on the cake while spinning your turntable. Your bench scraper isn’t supposed to move, only turn the table.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect as it only is the first coat. Chill the cake 20 to 30 minutes in the fridge (until your frosting sets).
- Then, apply a thicker coat of frosting and repeat the smoothing operation. Fill in any gaps and smooth the cake again. Repeat this operation until the cake looks smooth enough for you. Here, you’ll find a video tutorial of the covering process, if needed.
- Chill your cake in the fridge for 30 minutes or until your buttercream cover sets. Then your cake edges with a knife warmed with water.
- For the buttercream swirls. You should practice on parchment paper first. Draw the swirls by keeping the piping bag at a 90° angle. Draw circular motions, slowly going upwards. Once you’re satisfied with the height, stop piping. You can watch this buttercream swirl tutorial to get a better understanding.
- When you are confident enough, move on to the actual cake. Pipe the first swirl on the edge of your cake. For the next one, draw it straight across from the first. The third swirl has to be placed between the first ones. So on and so forth. This allows for your swirls to be equally spaced.
- Finally, place your sprinkles and cake toppers.
