Horse-theme birthday cake and ice cream ideas
A recipe for fun at your pony party starts when you plan the birthday cake to match
your theme. Check out our horsey cupcake ideas, too. Horses love carrots, but not
everyone loves carrot cakes. Whatever your flavor, here are some ideas to make
your horse-theme party go off without a hitch:
How to decorate a Pony Cake
How to set up the cake table for your pony party
Your cake can double as decor if your party is indoors and the temperature is right.
You worked hard to pick the right cake, so set up a table much the way a wedding
cake is on display. For a Wild West themed cowboy party, drape Hessian cloth
(burlap sack material) and make a display of Horse figurines tied with licorice ropes.
Use jute string to tie the corners for an outdoor affair or just staple to the picnic
tables to keep the wind from picking up. Include sheriff badges affixed to the cloth,
use tin plates or wrap plates in tin foil, stack gold nuggets with small cowboy figures
standing guard.

Horse-theme birthday cake and ice cream ideas
A recipe for fun at your pony party starts when you plan the birthday cake to match
your theme. Check out our horsey cupcake ideas, too. Horses love carrots, but not
everyone loves carrot cakes. Whatever your flavor, here are some ideas to make
your horse-theme party go off without a hitch:
- Start with the proper cake tools. The Wilton 50-piece Tool and Caddy decorating
set, available on Amazon, is for a mom who loves to bake cakes and cookies,
but who doesn't plan on becoming a Wedding Cake professional. The roomy
caddy keeps organized, and has everything you need to start decorating
cakes. The kit saves you money.
- Save time serving ice cream. While a dollop of ice cream is the perfect
accompaniment to your cake, you may miss smiles and excitement in the
scramble to scoop for your impatient little party goers. Minimize the chore and
gain precious moments by scooping ice cream into short plastic cups ahead of
time and keeping them in the freezer.
- Hey, cookie, here's an idea: try horse shaped cookie cake toppers. Iced cookies
make festive cake decorations, as do chocolates and other molded candies.
Your cake designs and cookies will look even sweeter with Dragees (shiny,
metallic-colored balls). They add an elegant touch. Don't horse around with
sugar cookies: use our easy big batch sugar cookie recipe, instead.
- Put that Horse out to pasture! An easy pony birthday party cake idea is to put
some Horse figurines on a meadow of grass. Breyer Mini Whinnies make a
good choice. Search "Safari Horses and Ponies Mega Toob" on Amazon. For a
Cowboy birthday cake, choose "Wild West Toob" to decorate a whole cake.
Coconut grass is a fun way to display a Horse figurine on a cupcake or cake
accented with a few candy flowers.
How to decorate a Pony Cake
- How to make coconut grass: Place sweetened coconut shreds into a bowl, add
a hint of food green color and mix by hand until you reach the desired color.
The expert trick is to use food color paste, which is thicker than the liquid
form. We also suggest you use disposable plastics glove to protect hands, or
contain the mess in a plastic bag to mix, shake and knead.
- How to make green butter cream: Butter cream for your cake or cupcakes is
easy. Just mix the following in a blender at starting at a slow speed and
increasing the speed until light and fluffy.
- * 1 cup softened butter
* 4-1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 2 teaspoons hot water
* few drops green food dye
* few drops flavor with vanilla, or other drops such as lemon
- How to make candy flowers: Take gumdrop style sugar coated candy (e.g,
Brachs), and flatten the pretty pink, purple or yellow or orange ones with a
rolling pin, then roll them into rose buds. Accent with leaves cut from flattened
green candies. Place gum candied flowers on the bed of coconut grass and
place some Horse figurines.
- The horseshoe cake pan from Wilton helps you make a super easy cake. The
great thing about the pan is that after you've baked the cakes you can use it
as a tray for a snack mix.
- For a barnyard or cowboy party, see what's online at CowDepo.com They
have a tin of adorable cow sprinkles for the ice cream or cake that would
make any cowboy or cowgirl happy. Here are more ideas
