Delicious Father's Day Crafts

What do you love about your dad? Playing sports in the backyard, the protection from monsters in the closets, afternoon ice cream runs and help with your homework, the role your dad plays in your life is one-of-a-kind. Father's Day is your chance to show your dad just how much you care.

From neck ties to t-shirts, choosing a gift for your dad can be challenging. This year, why not do something a little more creative? Father's Day crafts can be the perfect gift for any age. Get your siblings or children to participate, or use your own creativity to create a Father's Day cake that is sure to please.

Who knows your dad better than you? Satisfy his sweet tooth with a homemade cake decorated to match his interests. Consider some of the following cake ideas to help you get inspired:

The Golf Ball Cake

Showcase your dad's favorite sport with a delicious Father's Day craft project. Using a sports ball shaped pan, you can create a 3-D golf ball cake that will impress even the hardest to please father. Have other important men in your life? You can personalize a cake for your grandfather, uncle or neighbor using the same cake pan.

Turn your golf ball into a baseball, basketball, tennis ball or bowling ball just by changing the way you decorate.

The #1 Dad Cake

By carving a rectangular cake into the shape of a trophy, you can give your dad an edible award that will satisfy his sweet tooth. Using a rich gold colored frosting, decorate your trophy cake to include handles, detail work and a large #1. You can even personalize it with his name and use sprinkles to add a little sparkle to your trophy.

The Simple From-the-Heart Cake

Not sure you can handle detailed decorations? There is nothing wrong with making a simple cake that comes from the heart. The point of Father's Day crafts is to give a personalized gift from your heart to your father's. Don't worry about being the best cake decorator on the planet; just make something that comes from the heart.

Cake baking can be a great way to get the entire family involved. Split up the baking tasks and let younger kids help mix ingredients, set the timer and help choose colors. Make this year's Father's Day the best one yet. Get involved in Father's Day crafts.
