So in an attempt to help you better prepare, we've gathered a few tips for you to have a look at before you set off to bake your own special birthday cake:

Temperature Matters - Ensure proper baking temperature by fully preheating your oven and using an oven thermometer. An oven that is too hot will cause uneven baking making your cake rise too much in the center. If this happens, us a long serrated knife to cut off the top...but only after it has cooled.

Want it Flat? - To achieve a perfectly flat top, simply use the bottom of the cake by flipping it over.

Taste the Quality Difference - To ensure your cake tastes its best, start with quality ingredients. By investing in the best quality chocolate, fillings, icings and nuts, you will taste a tremendous difference.

Icing in a Bag - A great and cheap way to achieve those special details is by making your own decorating tube. It's easy! Simply put your icing into a heat-safe zip-lock plastic bag. Then place it into a bowl of hot water water until the icing has melted. The last step is to simply snip the tip of one corner with your scissors and squeeze the icing out of the bag.

There are tons of other tips to help you to easily design and bake your birthday cake.
