Cute And Simple Back To School Cake Ideas

A great way to get excited for school is to celebrate it and we like to do that with our annual back to school cakes! Sometimes kids are super excited for back to school and sometimes super nervous and well sometimes down right ardent that they do not want to go. We have been through them all. Sometimes it’s the kids being excited and sometimes me dreading it. Sometimes the reverse.  Of course kindergarten is always a little more special and nerve racking too. But one thing we have consistently done for the past several years is to celebrate the milestone with a BACK TO SCHOOL CAKE. Cake makes everything better.

It may be a bit silly, but my kids love it. They pretend to be oblivious when I am making it so as to be fully ‘surprised’ when we have a family dinner and their school cakes!! I aim for things that they will like more than myself and often add a whimsical element, like polka dots or tye-dye for the inside. Also perhaps the photos of years past betray exactly when I took a cake decorating course!

Here are some favourite school cakes:
