Where Can i find Moana Birthday Cakes Near Me?

Your local bakeries are another option for finding a Moana cake near you. The advantage of using a local bakery is they often are able to provide more personalized service and creativity when designing your cake. Plus, it’s always great to support local and small businesses!
Be sure to provide photos of cakes you like to help guide them in the cake design. If you have figurines, small toys or cake toppers, your baker may also be able to incorporate them into your Moana cake design.
How Can I Make A Moana Cake At Home?
If you’re up for the challenge, you can definitely make a Moana cake at home. Here’s a quick list of what you’ll need:
- Pick a design: Use the ideas, like the ones in this article, as inspiration or use your own creativity to come up with a plan.
- Cake: Use a boxed cake mix or make your own from scratch using a recipe like this one for old-fashioned chocolate cake. Make sure you select a cake size that is appropriate for the number of guests you are expecting (and enough for leftovers!)
- Frosting: You can use canned frosting or make a homemade buttercream. Check out our tips for making canned frosting taste more like homemade.
- Cake Toppers: Etsy and Amazon are great places to find Moana cake topper and decorations. You can also find edible images.
- Edible Images: You may also want to explore Moana edible images. These are thin sheets with an edible ink design that can be placed right on your frosting. The image then melts right into the cake for a clean and professional look.
- Edible decorations: Make some bright green edible moss and edible sand to complete your Moana cake look! As you look through the cake ideas below, you’ll see many use moss and sand. They are easy to make for your DIY Moana cake too!
