Although having themed parties doesn't have to stop just because your child has reached the tween or teen years, it is common for themes to be few and far between in favor of a more general birthday party, which means a more general cake that still feels fun and age-appropriate. If you're throwing your tween or teen a birthday party and need some inspiration for the best part of the party — that fluffy, frosted cake — look no further!
