How to prepare for a Sesame Street birthday party?
Planning a Sesame Street party is all about fun, colour, and character. Here are some essentials:
- Pick a theme focus – will it be Elmo, Cookie Monster, or the whole Sesame Street gang?
 
- Send bright, playful invitations that set the tone for the celebration.
 
- Decorate with primary colours like red, yellow, and blue to match the show’s cheerful style.
 
- Organise simple games such as “Pin the Nose on Elmo” or a cookie decorating station.
 
- Order the Sesame Street Topcake – the buttercream finish and character toppers make it the perfect centrepiece and is perfect for the theme.
 
- Prepare snack platters that are easy for kids to grab between games.
 
- Have a photo spot with themed props for fun party memories.
 
- Plan the cake-cutting before the party winds down, so every little guest gets a slice.
 
How to bake a Sesame Street cake at home?
A simple attempt might be to:
- Bake a round sponge and cover with coloured icing.
 
- Add toy character toppers or print edible images.
 
- Use smarties or biscuits for decoration.
 
While fun, home attempts often lack the polish and vibrant detail.

Ordering the Sesame Street Cake ensures a professional finish, strong colours, and decorations that hold up through a full party.
