This is one of the main reasons that people go to the trouble of making homemade birthday cakes or of ordering one from a specialty cake decorator instead.The reason that a custom birthday cake will really make a statement is because the person (or persons) who tackle the decorating will have a very clear theme and a somewhat original style to use. What does that mean? Just consider some of the best birthday cakes you have ever seen…what makes them memorable? Was it the fineness of the decoration, or was it the unique style of the artist who actually made that cake?
