Looking for a glitter cake for a birthday? At Avon Cake, the Glitter Cake is a pink cream cake with satin bows, a silver crown, pearls and sparkling glitter on top. It's one of our most-ordered cakes for girls' birthdays. Here's what it looks like, which size feeds your guests, lines for the board, and how to add edible glitter to another cake.
What the Glitter Cake looks like
- The cake: pink cream, piped with shells and ruffles around the top and sides.
- The bows: pink satin ribbons tied in bows around the sides.
- The crown: a silver crown set with pearls, with a ring of pearls around its base.
- The glitter: silver glitter shines on the top of the cake, inside the crown.
The crown's size may differ slightly from the photo, depending on the cake size. The cake flavour is chocolate, and vanilla is available in selected cities, booked a day ahead. You pick one filling: cream, Nutella, blueberry, Lotus or pistachio.
When a glitter birthday cake fits
- A girl's birthday: the crown makes her the queen of the day.
- Your wife, mum or sister: soft pink and pearls feel grown-up, not childish. For more designs in this style, see birthday cake ideas for women.
- A princess-themed party: the crown ties the cake to the rest of the décor.
- A visit with a warm drink: take the package below and the drink comes with the cake.
The Glitter Cake package with a warm drink
The Glitter cake package is the same pink cake with the silver pearl crown, bows and glitter, with a warm drink if you'd like one: a thermos of hot chocolate with marshmallows, or karak tea. It comes in 6 to 12 inch and serves 6–32.
Other cakes with shine
Want a glittery cake in a different style? These two sparkle too:
- Zodiac cake: a lilac and purple heart with mirror disco balls, silver pearls, stars and butterflies, plus the star sign you choose on top, from Aries to Pisces. 6 to 12 inch, serves 6–32.
- New Year Sparkle Cake: a white cake with fireworks piped in bright colours, gold stars and a light gold shimmer across the top. 6 to 10 inch, serves 6–24.
Add edible glitter to any cake
Already picked a design without glitter? Add Edible Glitter to your order. It's sparkly, food-safe glitter that comes in its own small bag.
- Keep the cake top free of writing or drawings, and say so in the order notes.
- With a cake that has no writing, we add a layer between the cake and the glitter so it doesn't stick straight onto the surface.
- On its own, or with a cake that has writing, it comes in the small bag with no layer.
Building your own cake in design your cake? You can put your line on the board instead of the cake, which keeps the top clear. For other toppings, see sprinkles for cake decorating.
