OK, Here's a photo of a pretty cool Batman Birthday cake that sort of cracks me up, & really impresses me with it's inventiveness, all at the same time! It was made to look like the Bat-Pod Motorcycle used in THE DARK KNIGHT movie. As you can see in the above photo, the wheels are made out of 2 cakes put together. In fact, I think the whole thing is actually edible! Either way it's really cool. I wanna thank our friend Lauren for sending us this wonderful photo. Plus, I want to invite any Bat-Blog Fans who have had a Batman Birthday Cake in the past or present to send us some pics of yours.
OK, Here's a Special Batman Birthday Cake photo to celebrate all the birthdays of Bat-Blog Readers for the month of March. So, if you have a birthday this month, we want to wish you the very very very BEST...
Our good friend Xavier recently had a birthday & he got this extremely awesome Batman Birthday Cake. Oh man, I am so jealous! Seriously, this thing is so cool! It's the version of Batman from the BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated series, which is great because I really love that TV cartoon. OK, just for fun, I made a Batman Wallpaper of the image from the cake ( I hope Xavier likes it but other Bat-Blog Fans can enjoy it too ). Oh yea, before I end this post I can't forget to tell Xavier, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Dude, I hope you got some cool stuff!"
If any other readers get any bat-cakes this year please send us some pics.
One thing I love about doing the Bat-Blog is being in touch with lots of other Batman fanatics who are almost as crazy as I am, almost. But one of the coolest things is when they send photographic proof! Please check out the various Batman Birthday Cakes shown up above. All of these are cakes that our friend Perry has had so far. The years range from 1995 to 2008. Well, sounds to me like it's time for another one, ha! Have you ever had a Batman-themed party? Please send us some pics. They can be vintage, like from the 1960's, or modern day. I wanna thank Perry for sending these, they're great!
Over at Facebook I have a friend named Lauren who recently shared some neat pics of her Batman Birthday Cake she had. The thing is really cool! There's a HUGE Batman Logo Symbol ( plastic topper ) on the top & a few other Batman-themed designs in icing all over it. Plus, the whole thing is black & bright yellow...extremely cool! Thank you Lauren for sharing these pics. I always love when cute girls are totally into Batman, that's awesome! If any other Bat-Blog Fans have Batman Birthday Party memories to share then please do. Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this page.
WOW! The Bat-Blog was recently mentioned in a post at the SUPERHERO-PARTIES website! They did a story on "the 7 Best Batman Birthday Cakes" & three of them were featured at the Bat-Blog at one time or another. That's awesome! The website was created to be helpful to parents who are trying to get ideas for superhero-themed birthday parties. I mainly like it because they feature a ton of wacky birthday cake photos. Stuff like: Superman, Spiderman, Harry Potter, Star Wars, & much more. Anyways, we're totally honored to be mentioned there & if you might be trying to plan a special Boy or Girl's Birthday Party ( or cool adult ) then please be sure to check out the site by clicking HERE!
Over at MySpace I have a friend named RUSS who was kind enough to allow me to use this vintage family photo he had. It shows him on his birthday with a very cool Batman Birthday Cake that I guess his Mom had made. This cake pattern is actually a very popular one made with a famous "Wilton Cake Pan" from that period. ( You could also use the same pan to make a Superman Cake, but who cares, ha ha ). I also noticed he's sporting a Bat-Symbol Logo T-Shirt too! The original photograph was time-dated Dec 80 so I'm guessing this is around 1980. Thank you Russ for letting me post this! I appreciate that because the main focus of the Bat-Blog is to share the love of the Batman character. Plus, you look so happy in the pic!
A friend sent this link & it's pretty funny. I also think it's a cool craft project for a little kid's Batman-themed birthday party. This instructional video tells you how to make a JOKER ACTION FIGURE with balloons. Ya know, like "Balloon Animals". The end effect is pretty cool looking! Oh yeah, I guess I should say that it's the "Mark Hamill version" from Batman: The Animated Series & NOT the Heath Ledger Dark Knight movie character.
I just got an email from a Bat-Blog reader named Eben. He has sent some stuff in the past, but this picture is extra special. I guess I will sort of let his letter explain it. This is what he wrote:
"I wanted to send a picture of the cake my wonderful girlfriend Ashley made for me this weekend. It's really special to me because she has never been very sure of her cooking skills and this was her first try at something like this. She's very proud of it and I love her for the effort."
Thanks for sharing this pic Eben. Yes, this cake is awesome!! Not only because it looks really cool but because the main ingredient is "love", aaahhhhh :) Please tell Ashley that she DID do a great job on it!
A reader of the Bat-Blog recently sent in these pics of his 2 sons. He said he got these Batman Party Masks at a place called PARTY CITY for $1.93 each! It's a Birthday Party Supply store & he said that besides plates, cups, napkins ( the usual stuff ), there were also some toy prizes like the Grappling Hook & the Batarang too! The neat thing about the masks is that they are not those flat die-cut paper ones they usually make but are sort of 3D plastic-molded ( He did say they were kind of cheap & flimsy but they're still awesome ). David said when he was returning home from the store he could see his kids in the backseat wearing the masks & seeing the "creepy eyes" was sort of weird, ha ha! I gotta admit I have always liked this "Birthday party" stuff because it's so unusual. Plus, it's kind of inexpensive & fun to look at. Now, these masks are totally great & I am going to have to buy a few of these! Thank you David for sending in the wonderful photos.
Alright, I know the title to this post is kind of wacky but I'm sort of poking fun at my friend James. You see, he just turned 36 & decided to have a "Batman Themed" Birthday Party this year. I'm talking decorations, cake, everything! Man, that cake is beautiful & it's making me hungry, ha! He said he thought it was unusual for a grown man to have a Batman birthday but I totally disagree, I think it's GREAT! My theory is you're only as old as you feel, so stay young! By now James has already had his party & I hope it was a good one. I wanna thank him for allowing us to share these personal pics, that means a lot. Plus, Happy Bat-Birthday James!! If any other Bat-Blog Fans party down "Batman-style" then please send us your pics. The Bat-Blog is all about celebrating the comic book character we all love & having fun doing it, thanks.
OK, This post is to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the Bat-Blog Fans who have an event for the month of February. This Batman Birthday Cake Photo is posted just for YOU!! So, HAPPY BAT-DAY! We hope you have a great party!
WHY SO SERIOUS?? Check out this photo of this extremely cool JOKER-themed birthday cake with little Joker cupcakes! When I first saw them I totally laughed because they're kind of funny but they're also very clever. I mean, this is a really great idea! The pic was sent in to us by a bat-friend named Carlos, who had them for his Batman Birthday Party ( Thanks Carlos ).
We love it when Bat-Blog Fans send photos from their life where they share family moments that involve the Batman character in some way. That always means a lot to me. Plus, these kinda pics are always fun & entertaining. Like, these wonderful pics right here. They feature a "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS AS THE DARK KNIGHT" Birthday Cake that was made for a very lucky kid named Brodie. His Great-Aunt created this for him & I know that the main ingredient was "love" ( This ALWAYS produces the best cake, ha! ). The custom-design is very unique & clever. Just check out how they made his skinny legs, ha! I'm guessing that maybe they could not decide if they wanted a Batman Cake or a Spongebob one. So, they put the two of them together & got this great piece of ART. Like I said, very clever! Plus, just looking at it totally cracks me up! I wanna thank them for sharing these photos & also invite any other Bat-Blog Fans out there to please send-in their pics. Our email button is ALWAYS on the top right-hand side of this page.
Check out this extremely cool BATMAN Birthday Cake!! These photos were sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Scott. This awesome cake was for his son Noah, who just turned 13 ( Happy Birthday Noah! ) The cake has two levels. The bottom has graphics around it that looks like the skyline of Gotham City. The 2nd level features comic book "word balloons" with phrases like, "Pow!, Zing!, Boom!", and my favorite, "Holy Teenager Batman!". Then, on the top of the cake, there is a really great Batmobile!! Yes, this cake is a total Art Masterpiece. I wonder if Noah ate that car or kept it, ha! Thanks to both Scott & Noah for sharing their pics.
There's a story behind this special Batman Birthday Cake. The flowers along the top of the cake are blue and yellow for Adam West's costume and the bottom flowers are red, yellow, and green leaves for Burt Ward's costume ( their names are written by their colors ). This cake was for a special party for a Bat-Fan named Bobbi & she loved the the idea of a Batman-themed Birthday. I mean, it's just too cool! The neat thing is she got many compliments on this cake. Plus, that t-shirt is one of her favorites because it signifies the 1966 Batman exclusively. Same with the cake. It was 1966 themed as well. They've been her heroes since 1977 when she was first introduced to them on TV ( She was 7 yrs old at the time ). The great thing is that she got to meet both Adam & Burt this past April in Anaheim, CA. It was a definite dream come true! So, a special thanks goes out to Bobbi Lynn for sharing her wonderful photo & great story. She got to meet the Dynamic Duo!
Alright! Since today is July 1st we thought we would post a special Batman Birthday Cake for all of our readers who have a special day in the month of July. This cake has graphics inspired by the 1990's Batman: The Animated Series ( I love that TV cartoon! ) ...PARTY ON!!
One of our readers, named Kevin, recently had a birthday party & the theme was Batman! The neat thing, besides the great decorations, is that his wife gave him a really cool Batman Birthday Cake with the new movie bat-logo. It also looks like one of his gifts is that HUGE 30" tall Batman figure, the new one from The Dark Knight...LUCKY! Thanks for sharing your personal photos Kevin, I appreciate that, it's kinda fun to see this kinda stuff. If any other readers have Bat-Birthday photos to share then please send them in.
