Picked the birthday cake? Now for the bits that make it a party: a birthday headband for the guest of honour, a number balloon for their age, helium balloons, a topper on the cake and Night Stars for the cutting moment. At Avon Cake you can add all of them to the same order as your cake and pick one time slot for the lot. Here's what each add-on is, which cakes it suits, how to add it, and a ready checklist by party type. Still choosing the cake? Start with how to choose a birthday cake.
1. Birthday headband
The Birthday Headband (طوق الميلاد) is a HAPPY BIRTHDAY headband for the birthday person to wear, so they stand out in every photo.
- Colours: gold, silver, rose gold or pink. If the colour you pick isn't available, you'll get one that is.
- Goes with: any birthday cake, and especially the Crown Cake, decorated with pearls and a crown for a girl's birthday.
2. Number and helium balloons
Number balloon
The Rose Gold Number Balloon is a rose gold helium balloon shaped like a digit. Each balloon is one digit from 0 to 9:
- Single-digit age: one balloon, e.g. 5.
- Two-digit age: order each digit separately, e.g. 2 and 5 for a 25th. For a repeated digit like 11, increase the quantity.
Helium balloons
- 3 Pink Helium Balloons: a set of three pink balloons, lovely for girls' and kids' parties.
- 3 Rose Gold Helium Balloons: three rose gold balloons that match the number balloon.
- Red Heart Helium Balloon: a red heart for romantic occasions, like your partner's birthday.
Note: helium balloons aren't available in every city; the product page shows whether they are in yours.
3. Night Stars
Night Stars (نجوم الليل) is a celebration candle with a soft golden glow that makes the cake-cutting moment shine on camera, whatever the occasion. Place it on the cake just before serving, and keep balloons away from the cake when you light it.
4. Cake toppers
A topper stands on top of the cake and makes even a simple design look festive:
- Birthday Topper: reads "Happy Birthday", in gold or black.
- Crown Topper: a gold crown for the top of the cake, a royal touch for a daughter's or mum's birthday.
5. Candles and boards
- Candles: the Small Avon Candles pack has two small cake candles, and we also have slanted and sparkler candles. Every type, plus safety tips, is in our birthday candles guide.
- Boards: the board comes with the cake itself. The Board Cake has a calendar board: you write on the cake and on the board, and set the date. On other cakes, such as the Crown Cake and the Mini Two-Tier Cake, the writing goes on the board.
Every add-on is in one place: Candles & Balloons.
