Bella Blue and birthdays: make every cake a celebration
A birthday is the perfect occasion to go all out with a stunning cake or cheerful cupcakes. With Bella Blue, the Sugar Paste Colour of the Year, you can give your bakes a fresh, festive and modern look. Whether you’re throwing a colourful kids’ party or celebrating a stylish milestone birthday, Bella Blue is the shade that effortlessly adapts to any theme.
Baking ideas for kids
Children love bright and colourful cakes and Bella Blue offers endless creative possibilities. Think of a superhero cake, combining blue sugar paste with red and yellow accents. Or design an underwater adventure, complete with Bella Blue waves, mermaid tails and tiny sugar paste sea creatures. For little astronauts, use the colour as a backdrop for an outer space theme, finished with shimmering silver stars and planets.
Cupcakes are another great party addition! With a swirl of white buttercream and a Bella Blue sugar paste topper, you’ll have a treat that makes kids’ eyes light up in no time.
Baking ideas for birthday parties
Bella Blue also shines at ‘grown-up’ birthday celebrations. For a chic and modern look, choose a sleek cake covered in Bella Blue, finished with subtle golden details or a marble effect. Prefer something more playful? Pair Bella Blue with bold colours like yellow or pink. For fans of minimalism, a white base cake with small Bella Blue accents, sugar paste flowers, geometric shapes, or a delicate drip, makes for a timeless and elegant choice.
- Knead the sugar paste well before rolling it out to achieve a smooth, flawless finish without cracks.
- Bella Blue works beautifully as a base colour, but also as an accent. Try it for ribbons, flowers or figurines.
- Add a touch of glitter, dust or edible paint for an extra festive sparkle.
- Work in layers: tiered cakes look stunning when alternating Bella Blue with complementary shades.
