21 Stunning Frozen Cake Ideas For An Amazing Frozen-Themed Birthday.

Here, you’ll find 21 stunning Frozen cake ideas for an unforgettable Frozen-themed birthday party, with tips and tricks to DIY them.

How to find a Frozen 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 for sharpening and maintaining 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 into the Beginner or the Intermediate Cake Ideas categories.

Growth Tip : This list is great a place to set goals about your cake decorating skills. Pin this post and come back later to tell us how far you’ve come in your cake decorating journey !

How to follow the instructions of the designs.

For the cake designs in the beginner category: I’ll provide written instructions on how to recreate the cake idea presented to you. Don’t hesitate to watch video tutorials about basic techniques, such as smoothing a cake.

For the designs in the intermediate category: I’ll provide some guidance on how to perform the more complicated techniques.

For the advanced category: you are an experienced baker, at this point, and you will find great opportunities to put this experience to use. To be completely honest, I cannot make myself several cake ideas from the advanced category, so trust your abilities and go for it.

Find the perfect Frozen cake idea for your baking skills.

Growth Tip : If you aim to get better at cake decorating, you should choose a cake idea that feels sligthly above your current cake decorating level. Get out of your comfort zone !

Frozen Birthday Cake Ideas For Beginner Bakers

Here, you’ll find 3 easy Frozen cake designs perfect for beginner bakers.

Simple Frozen Birthday Cake.

@sweetlittletreats93

Difficulty Level: 1/5.

What you will need :

• Enough frosting to cover your cake.
• Frozen-themed cake decorations and cake toppers.
• A star-shaped piping tip (like the 1M by Wilton) + piping bag.
• Edible pearls and snowflake sprinkles.

How can you recreate this cake?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. It doesn’t have to be perfect as it is only the first coat. Chill the cake for 20 to 30 minutes in the fridge (until the frosting sets).
4. 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.
5. Next, chill your cake in the fridge for 30 minutes or until your buttercream cover sets, and use a knife warmed with water if you want sharp edges on your cake.
6. 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 upward. Once you’re satisfied with the height, stop piping. You can watch this buttercream swirl tutorial to get a better understanding.
7. 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 two. So on and so forth. This allows for your swirls to be equally spaced.
8. Finally, add your Frozen cake toppers, cake decorations, and edible pearls and snowflakes.

What you’ve learned :

As a cake decorator, learning how to frost a cake properly is the most basic yet important skill to master.
