Make a Wish birthday cake card

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.

What to write

A few lines to start from. Change any word on the order page.

  • Happy birthday to a very brave five-year-old. Nana is sending you a big kiss and a bigger slice of cake.
  • Make a wish, Ava, and do not tell anyone. I will keep my fingers crossed from far away.
  • I hear there will be strawberry cake. That sounds like the right kind of day.
