The nice folks at Parenting got in touch about their new gallery of clever kids' cakes. What's particularly great is that they provide a recipe and a design diagram for each of the 31 cakes they feature. So whether you want to browse for sheer inspiration or follow their instructions precisely, they are great fun to look at and a good bookmark if you're planning a celebration.
Here's an example of a cake diagram showing which candies and confections they used to embellish the cake. In addition to the cake recipe they also provide step-by-step instructions for assembling everything.
Their showcase of cakes include animals, movers (trains, rocket, etc.), food, fairytale, fun and games (sports, music) and insects. Below are a few of our favorites. Find them all at Parenting.

These are fantastically outrageous. The castle cake, girly but not obnoxious, is my favorite.

These are so cute! I'm planning to make the monkey cake for my son's first birthday party this weekend!
