21st Birthday Cake Ideas

Celebrate the special day with a cake.

When a person turns 21 years old, there are a lot of fun and exciting things you can do to celebrate the occasion. One of the ways you can celebrate is by presenting a unique cake marking the event. Use your creativity to produce a one-of-a-kind novelty.

Themes

Pick a theme for your birthday cake. Since it's for a 21st birthday party, you can either pick a drinking theme or a more adult-oriented theme. Accessories for themes like these can include shot-glass cake toppers and even candies with erotic innuendos printed on them.

Recipe

A 21st birthday cake isn't complete without having a little rum poured into the batter. There are plenty of rum cake recipes available on the Internet and in cookbooks. Rum cake can be very tasty with cream cheese icing.

Finishing Touches

Paying attention to a color scheme in addition to the original theme can create a very attractive effect. Using black-and-white ribbons with colorful shot-glasses surrounding the tiers can attract the happy birthday celebrator. The finishing touch to this theme can be placing tiny bottles of flavored alcohol around the bottom tier of the cake.
