About this design
Grandparents, aunts and godparents can send a birthday cake card for a child straight from the phone, with no post office trip. A layer cake sits in strawberry pink with its candles lit, drawn like a picture book page, and the birthday kid’s name and age are set beside it. The sample is Ava, turning five. It is friendly and a little sweet, and it works well for younger children who still love a good cake.
Mail it to a child about to blow out the candles: a granddaughter, a goddaughter, a friend’s little one. Keep the note on the back short, in words they can follow along with. We print the address and postage. A 4x6 is $2, and the order page shows the front and back first.
The look: A drawn layer cake, candles lit, and the birthday kid’s name.
The words on the front
Each line is a field on the order page, and the preview there shows exactly what will print.

- Age up to 119 characters, for example “5”
Available as 4x6.

On the back
Your message prints on the back in a handwriting-style font, up to 700 characters. We print the address and the postage, so there is nothing to address or stick.
Ava, five candles and one wish. I hope it is a good one. Happy birthday from your favorite cousin.Hugs, Cousin Nate
What to write
