27 Of The Best Creative Birthday Cake Ideas

After the owners of a London bakery were forced to ask customers to send fewer orders this week when their incredible Lego birthday cake went viral, we've been left daydreaming about the amazing design possibilities ahead of birthday season.

From gravity-defying chocolate cakes, to giant doughnuts and miniature library cakes,

there's very little that can't be done with a slab of royal icing (provided you've got the skills to pull it off) and some food colouring.
