The sky's the limit when it comes to choosing a bat mitzvah cake design.
Although religious traditions vary between cultures, one thing that translates without much difference within the Jewish community is the need for an awesome cake for a bat mitzvah. As specialty cakes become the staple of any great celebration, there is no question why it must also exist for a young woman's coming-of-age ceremony. The celebration following a girl's bat mitzvah is a grand one, usually following a theme of her choice -- similar to a sweet 16 birthday party. Keeping this in mind, the sky is the limit for the cake.
Standard Tier Cake
If you are a fan of the multi-tier layered cake, choose a clean, simple design with a modern look such as a square three- or four-tier cake with silver or gold dragee beads. Dragee beads are edible metallic balls that give cakes a sophisticated, decorative look and modern appeal. Choose simple colors for the cake, like a pale shades, chocolate brown or one single, bright color. This is a great option for girls with no muss, no fuss personalities and those who are not looking for the cake to steal their spotlight.
Topsy Turvy
For the ultimate girly girl, topsy turvy cakes make a perfect choice. The cake is made to look as if it will tip over with its "topsy turvy" design, a method used by slicing the bottom of each layer of the cake on an angle and attaching the next layer of cake with rods or wooden stakes. Each layer is typically designed completely differently in a wild print, color palette or geometric design. Start the bottom layer with a solid hot pink fondant layer accented with white polka dots. Reverse the colors of the second tier with all white icing and hot pink stripes. Finish the top layer with hot pink, black and white zebra print and top the cake with a huge candied purse or other item of the girl's choice. Ask your baker for examples of her work for this tricky cake as it requires design savvy.
Custom Shape Cake
Another very customized design request is to order a specialty shaped cake. As television shows about cake decoration gain popularity, demand for cakes in a variety of lifelike shapes is growing. Cakes made to look like the young lady of honor, her favorite hobby or pet can be created. As these cakes take expertise and time, the prices are also significantly more than those you find in your baker's case. Consider incorporating the presentation of a cake of this magnitude to the lucky lady as a part of her celebratory entertainment.
Cupcake Cake
If you have concerns over budget or design, opt for an order of a cupcake cake. Cupcakes are topped in a variety of colors, which are used to make out pictures or messages when they are arranged to look like a sheet cake. When you are looking for simple style with a great taste, consider a cupcake cake.
