Care Bear Cake

A care bear cake can be created by using a care bear candle, care bear toppers, care bears made out of fondant or marizpan or a decorated blue cake to resemble the sky and white puffy clouds, we have some ideas to get you on the path to a perfect Care Bear party.

Care Bear Cake

You can decorate a Care Bear cake several ways to go along with the Care Bear theme. One fun way to make the cake will be to use a bear mold. The follow these steps to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.

Grease and flour the pan, ensuring all the nooks and crevices are covered.
Pour in the batter, and gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles
Bake according to the instructions.

To prevent the cake from cracking when you remove it from the pan, let the cake cool completely.

Decorating a Flat Cake

Another option is to decorate a flat cake with care bear figurines or toys. If you prefer a simple design for your Care Bear cake, you can cover the cake in care bear symbols. A plain square cake will do.

Frost the cake with white frosting
Add clovers, rainbows, hearts, stars, and clouds
Use small care bear figurines or toys to top the cake off
Serve the cake with rainbow sherbet

Color is Vital

No matter which method you use for decorating your cake, you will need a lot of color. The Care Bears are very colorful creatures after all. Buy or make your own white frosting, then dye the frosting different colors, especially blue, purple, green, orange, pink and yellow. Before you begin to frost the cake for real, try coloring the design you have come up with on a piece of paper with markers or crayons for some extra practice. You can also practice with some extra frosting.

Care Bear Game

For another fun Care Bear-themed activity, try a twist on the traditional musical chairs: musical clouds. Cut out clouds from poster paper and place them around the room. Play by the normal rules, with one less cloud than players, or try a less competitive version. Draw a number on each cloud. After the music stops and the children run to the clouds, you say a number. Give a prize (piece of candy or sticker) to the child on that cloud.

After a few rounds of this energetic game, your party guests will be ravenous for refreshments. The children will definitely enjoy the colorful Care Bear cake. This theme is certain to be a party success.
