What cupcakes are ideal for a child’s 1st birthday party?
A first birthday is all about colour, fun, and easy sharing. Here’s what makes cupcakes such a great choice:
- No mess serving – each child gets their own portion without the need for slicing.
 
- Bright and playful – colourful icing and fun toppers grab attention.
 
- Character appeal – kids love seeing their favourite TV friends on the table.
 
- Flexible sizing – available in 6-packs with the ability to purchase more, depending on your guest list.
 
- Simple ordering – fresh, themed cupcakes ready for pick-up or delivery in just 48 hours.
 
The Sesame Street cupcakes tick every box, with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and other favourites turning your child’s 1st birthday into a celebration to remember.
What theme should my child’s 1st birthday be?
Themes make parties memorable, and for toddlers, familiar characters often work best. Options like animals, rainbows, or TV favourites keep kids engaged. Sesame Street is a timeless choice, and themed cupcakes are an easy way to tie the decorations, food, and entertainment together without extra effort.
What are Sesame Street cupcakes?
These are regular cupcakes decorated with buttercream swirls and edible designs of Sesame Street characters. They bring Elmo, Cookie Monster, and friends straight to the party in edible form. Our 6-pack makes it simple to add playful, character-themed treats to any event.
How can I bake Sesame Street cupcakes at home?
Baking at home requires time, themed toppers, and some decorating skills. You’ll need to:
- Bake your base cupcakes in your chosen flavour.
 
- Prepare colourful buttercream in multiple shades.
 
- Pipe swirls and add toppers shaped like Sesame Street characters.
 
For many parents, it’s easier to order a ready-made 6-pack of Sesame Street cupcakes, where the characters are already designed to look professional and party-ready.
How many guests does a 6-pack of Sesame Street cupcakes serve?
A half-dozen box provides six regular-sized cupcakes, perfect for a small gathering or as an add-on to other party food. For bigger celebrations, ordering multiple packs means there’s enough for more children and even a few adults who want to join in.
What flavour choices are offered for Sesame Street cupcakes?
The cupcakes come in classic flavours, so there’s something for everyone. You can choose from:
- Vanilla
 
- Chocolate
 
- Red Velvet
 
- Chocolate and Vanilla mixed box
 
This variety makes it easy to cater for different tastes at the same party.
How far ahead should I place an order for Sesame Street cupcakes?
Orders need 48 hours notice to ensure your Sesame Street cupcakes are freshly made and decorated with care. Planning ahead means your treats will be ready for pick-up or delivery right when you need them.
What’s the best way to store themed cupcakes before serving?
The Sesame Street cupcakes should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you’re holding them overnight, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. On hot days, refrigeration may be needed, but bring them back to room temperature before serving so the buttercream is soft and delicious.
Where can I order Sesame Street cupcakes in Sydney?
You can pick them up directly from The Cupcake Factory or arrange delivery:
- Pick-up: Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064
 
- Delivery: Available across Sydney with fees calculated at checkout
 
Why should I choose cupcakes instead of a cake for my child’s 1st birthday?
Cupcakes save you from cutting and plating, which makes hosting easier. Each guest gets their own perfectly portioned treat, and the themed designs are just as eye-catching as a whole cake. Sesame Street cupcakes combine convenience with character appeal, making them perfect for little ones’ celebrations.
What makes themed Elmo cupcakes different from regular ones?
While regular cupcakes may be simple swirls of buttercream, themed versions include recognisable characters and colourful decorations. An Elmo Sesame Street cupcake not only tastes great but also adds to the party atmosphere, giving kids that sense of magic that a plain cupcake can’t deliver.
Should I buy Sesame Street cupcakes or make them myself?
Homemade baking is rewarding but can be time-consuming, especially if you’re trying to create multiple character faces. Buying professionally decorated Sesame Street cupcakes ensures each one looks consistent, festive, and ready to impress, while also saving you time on the day.
