10 Of The Best Frozen Cake Recipes In 2024
These Disney Frozen cakes will make your little princess’ dream come true and you'll look like ultimate parenting goals - winning!
Who can forget the songs and the characters like Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf? I know we’re still trying to get the sound of kids belting out 'Let it Go' at the top of their lungs out of our heads.
But we are here to share the love and the cakes that we know will just light up your little one's Frozen-themed birthday party. That's why we rounded up the 10 best Frozen cake ideas - and not just the base cake - but the very best Arendelle-worthy cake toppers and animated cake decorations to boot.
If you're looking for inspiration for your own recipe, or a photo to give to your local baker, look no further. These are the very best Frozen cakes from around the world.
What are the important things to look for in a good Frozen cake?
Simple recipe:
Have you considered just using a cake box mix for the base cake? There are some absolutely mouth watering options that are already kitchen tested and prepackaged into a box for you. Coles and Woolworths also have sponge bases ready-baked, so you can just cut them to shape, ice and decorate!
Quick preparation time:
You’re busy enough as it is, so your unicorn cake should not take too long to prepare, bake and decorate.
Simple-yet-unique design:
You know the characters. Everyone has their favourite. But you’ll want ones that are easy to replicate rather than spending hours on little intricate designs. Sven's fur? Too hard basket!
De-lish
Goes without saying, right? What’s a cake if it isn’t moist, rich and the frosting is not just edible but also decadently tasty. C’mon if you’re going all out on the cake for a party you might as well enjoy every last morsel.
