Gone are the old days of boring white frosting Bar or Bat Mitzvah cakes with blue Jewish starts on them… After all, this is 2009, and at this point in time cakes are readily available that will wow your guests. A flat round cake with white icing and chocolate layers may be tasty, but it likely will not leave a lasting impression on your guests.

If you have had a chance to watch a show like “Ace of Cakes,” you have already seen the amazing possibilities that exist when it comes to cakes. Cakes these days are not just flat and round. They can have interesting angles and details, pop-out characters, and even be sky-high if you like.

For your Bar or Bat Mitzvah cake, why not choose a theme that is exciting to your teen? The cake can actually mirror his or her hobby or passion. It can be anything from a sport, rollercoaster, or fashion show that literally comes to life in the form of a cake. If your teen loves music, your Bar or Bat Mitzvah cake can be designed to resemble a favorite band or album. You can also get a cake that is designed to reflect your city. For example, if you are planning a Washington D. C Bar or Bat Mitzvah, why not have your cake designed like the skyline of DC?

Some people have even incorporated Judaism into their cake in innovative ways. Why not have the cake be 3-foot tall image with an image of your teen reading from the Torah? It is possible to get creative and incorporate Judaism into the cake in a manor that far outshines just a simple Jewish star.

There are amazing cake artists in most cities that can design an innovative Bar or Bat Mitzvah cake that will impress your guests, and keep them talking. And long after the cake has been eaten, you will have fantastic photos of your teen and his or her friends smiling and having a fabulous time while slicing into the cake.
