Cute homemade cake to make for Children's Day

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Children’s Day falls during Golden Week, which is a prime time for outings, so many people head out.

On the other hand, since everywhere tends to be crowded, some of you may choose to spend the day at home.

In this article, we’re sharing handmade cake ideas that are perfect for Children’s Day and can be enjoyed at home.

We’ve gathered a wide range of recipes—from fully homemade to easy ones that cleverly use store-bought items.

It can be fun to make them together with your kids, too.

Wishing you a joyful Children’s Day!

Fukuwarai cake

[With Recipe] “Fukuwarai” Cake: Parent–Child Cooking with Elementary School Kids! An Easy New Year’s Cake You Can Make

Fukuwarai cake

The Fuku-warai cake is an idea that makes the process of making a cake even more fun.

You bake cookie dough into eyes, a nose, and other parts, then arrange them on a round cake made to look like a face—just like the traditional Fuku-warai game.

It’s exciting to imagine what kind of face you’ll end up with as you make each piece, and the difference between what you pictured and how it actually looks when arranged is part of the fun.

Using someone you know as a motif can be great, too.

By the way, chocolate pens let you add finer details.

Prepare different colors to match things like hair color.

Rice Flour Vegan Roll Cake

[Rice Flour Roll Cake] Koinobori cake for Children’s Day! Egg-free and gluten-free, great for kids with allergies! Vegan rice flour roll cake

Rice Flour Vegan Roll Cake

Would you like to try making a vegan rice flour roll cake? It’s not only egg-free but also gluten-free, so anyone can enjoy it with peace of mind.

You can keep it looking like a classic roll cake, but shaping it like a carp streamer (koinobori) would be wonderful too.

In that case, line sliced strawberries in one direction to resemble the carp’s scales.

It’s a cake perfect for Children’s Day and great for making memories! Even just helping with the step of arranging the strawberries is sure to be fun.
