So, the karate birthday party theme won out over pirates and ballerinas and now you need a cake. Or more specifically you need tidier, already portioned, portable karate cupcakes to complete your party motif. Karate cupcakes come in a variety of festive designs. Whether or not your cupcakes are delicious depends on your baking skills or that of your local professional. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Karate Paper Doll Cupcakes
These docile karate cupcakes feature a smiling, unisex, fondant paper doll-type cutout donning a traditional white karate uniform or Gi and a black belt. This cake is perfect for the less aggressive martial artist. This cupcake uses chocolate cake and a layer of vanilla frosting with the paper doll fondant set on top. (See Reference 1)
Karate Belt Tie Cupcakes
The essence of any Gi is the belt. Karate belt cupcakes feature a tied belt made out of fondant on a basic vanilla frosting backdrop that signifies the uniform. You can go with the traditional black tie or you may choose yellow, orange, blue, purple or red to showcase what level of karate your child is on. (See Reference 2)
Karate Funny Face Cupcakes
These cupcakes feature a red and black Gi with a yellow belt. You can take this opportunity to make all the faces on the karate cupcakes have different expressions. You can pipe in a traditional smiley face or a fierce martial arts grunt. (See Reference 3)
Ninja Karate Cupcakes
The more aggressive martial artist may opt for the ninja karate cupcakes. These cupcake toppers are completely edible and feature a ninja donned in all black and his trusty sword against a red backdrop. You can adhere these toppers to your cupcakes with a little frosting. These hand-painted, hand-cut ninja toppers come in four different poses and can be purchased on Etsy. (See Reference 4)
