Give the Birthday Boy or Girl the Ultimate Gift

(Family Features) - When the goal is to delight a child with a birthday party they'll never forget, nothing says "it's your day" like an unforgettable birthday bash. And, it's a piece of cake when it comes together under one creative theme, down to the delicious detail of a birthday cake to sweeten the theme.

A spring 2008 survey by General Mills, Inc. asked parents how they select a birthday party theme for their birthday boy or girl. Here are some typical responses:

  • "For a child's party, I usually ask the child if they want a theme or a certain character." I decide the food a week or so in advance and try and get things most will like." "Just think of something fun for everybody involved."

"As a parent, one of the best gifts I can give my child in an incredible party," said Ann Stuart of The Betty Crocker Kitchens. "When planning the food and activities for themed parties, it is important to enjoy the party-giving experience so it's memorable for both parents and kids. After all, birthdays only come around once a year. "

According to recent research (conducted by Space 150), the top birthday cake styles or types searched online are Castle Cake, Princess Cake, Pirate Cake and Dinosaur Cake.

Party Perfect Pictures

Whether it's baby's first or great-grandmother's ninetieth, these tips from the Kodak Gallery experts will make birthday photos special.

Capture the emotion. Keep the camera on and ready to catch great candids.

Show the candles aglow. To capture the light from burning candles at night, turn off your flash.

Avoid red eye. Turning on all the room lights helps. If the camera has a "red-eye reduction" feature, use it.

Get close. To capture impactful pictures, fill as much of the camera's shot with the subject. Check the camera manual for guidance on the closest focusing distance.
