Shrek Cake Ideas

Shrek is green, so the cake should be, too. Make your child’s birthday party a success with a whimsical Shrek cake.

It is not too hard to carve a cake to look like the head of Shrek. And just using his head keeps it simple.

A round cake pan will be needed, along with plenty of green frosting. To make it more fun, the plain yellow cake, along with a custard or whipped cream filling can also be green with the use of green food coloring. When the cake is cut open, this surprise will delight your young guests.

The shape of Shrek’s head is basically round, but the ears will need to stick out, so be sure to accommodate them when cutting the shape around the head. You might also use the extra cake that was cut off to make it three-dimensional by adding a nose in the shape of Shrek’s nose, with holes for nostrils. The ends of the ears will need holes, too.Finish it off with black cake decorating gel to outline the eyes and for the pupils, too. The black gel can also be used for the bushy eyebrows. Then fill in the rest of the eyes with white frosting, and use white also for the teeth on the smiling face of Shrek.
