If you’re planning a Moana Birthday Party, we’ve got you covered when it comes to a Moana Cake!
Moana Cake Round-up
Ella’s 7th Moana Birthday Party was one of my favorite birthday parties that we’ve ever thrown!
The festive luau theme, all the cute kids wearing their matching Moana dresses, complete with all of the amazing food was such a blast – and I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids!
One of the few things our detailed Moana party post lacks is any mention of cake! My daughter is actually not a huge cake fan, so we ended up going with an ice cream cake for her party.
However, I wanted to provide you with some amazing Moana cake inspiration – in case your child actually likes cake!
While I found many amazing Moana cakes online, many of the links were just picture inspiration, links from local bakeries, or worse led to spam sites – ew!
To take the hassle out of your search for the perfect Moana cake tutorial, I’ve rounded up 18 of the best Moana cakes out there – and every single one of these links leads to a post the details the step-by-step cake decorating process. No more trying to look at a picture and figure out how in the world you are going to make it a reality.
Several of these Moana cakes also come with video instructions!
Whether you are making your cake at home, or sending these ideas to someone else to make for you, the step-by-step directions are going to make your Moana party planning just a little bit easier.
(I also found some super cute Moana cake toppers which can make decorating a bit easier: this banner-style topper and these figurine toppers are my favorites. You can also grab an edible image and pop it on top of a round cake for the easiest Moana cake ever.)
