Adult's Birthday Cake Ideas
Adult birthdays warrant fun birthday cakes as much as children's birthdays do. While celebrating an adult's birthday usually doesn't include cartoon characters or themes, it's still nice to make a cake they will love. Get creative when choosing a birthday cake for the birthday girl, and be sure to select flavors and colors that she likes. Does this Spark an idea?

Flip Flops
-
For the birthday boy that loves the beach, choose a birthday cake in the shape of flip flops. This type of cake is difficult to make on your own, so it may be best to go to a bakery to get it made. Use bright colors for the flip flops, such as bright yellow, green and blue. Add flowers all around the flip flops.
Polka Dots
-
Polka dots are a birthday cake idea for either gender, as long as you make them look grown-up. The cake should have two square layers. Ice the cake with pale blue frosting and add touches of brown frosting around the edges. Use white frosting to make polka dots all over the cake. It's a sophisticated way to use a whimsical pattern.

Purse Cake
-
A wild and silly adult birthday cake idea for a young woman is a purse cake. This is ideal if she enjoys fashion and accessories. The cake itself can be in a circle shape with white frosting. The outside of the cake is trimmed with hot-pink scalloped frosting. A clear, plastic shoe in the middle of the cake finishes it off.
Numbers
-
A sheet cake with large numbers on it is a way to have fun with a man on his birthday. Start with a large sheet cake and frost it with vanilla frosting. Add large numbers that reflect his age on his birthday. They should be tall and large enough to fill up most of the cake. Use decorations, such as stars, all over the top of the cake.
