Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need fondant to make an emoji cake?
Not at all. A buttercream finish works just as well for an emoji cake — use piping nozzles or gel icing pens to create the classic emoji swirls, dots and expressions, as shown in a few of the ideas above.
What’s an easy option if I don’t want to bake a full cake?
Emoji cake pops or emoji cupcakes are a great shortcut. They take less time than a full tiered cake, double up as table decorations, and are easy for kids to grab and go at a party.
Which emoji is the most popular choice for kids’ parties?
The poop emoji is a firm favourite for its cheeky factor, but heart-eyes, the monkey emoji and classic smiley faces are all popular too — it really comes down to the birthday child’s own favourite.
