Karate Outfit Cake

Cut a triangle shape on the end of rectangle-shaped cake and frost the cake with white frosting. Draw a martial arts uniform using a frosting bag by drawing a "Y" shape to make the collar and crease. Use frosting or candy pieces to create a belt on the bottom and a dojo crest on the chest to complete the look.
Simple Cake Decorations

Make use of store-bought plastic cake toppers in martial arts themes for a quick and simple cake. Wash all non-edible items before placing them on the cake to avoid the spread of bacteria.

From Cake to Cupcakes
-
Cupcakes are easier to serve at dojo birthday party than a cake because no cutlery or plates are required. Use frosting to make each cupcake into a martial artist. Frost most of the cupcake, leaving an area without frosting for the face. Use an icing bag to draw the details of the uniform and face. For a simpler option, draw Asian symbols on each cupcake or put a store-bought cake topper on each.
Personalization
-
A birthday cake should be a celebration of the birthday boy himself, so add personal details to your cake to put him at the forefront. If you are creating a cake that looks like a martial arts uniform, color it to match the birthday boy's uniform and belt ranking. Customize cupcakes for the kids attending by adding their names in icing.
