Number Cake is a wonderful concept and popular to order for your kids� birthday. The number cake is particularly ordered to highlight the age of your kids on their birthday. Number cakes are mostly ordered for one year birthday, five-year birthday, 8-year birthday and so on. To order this number cake the minimum required starting weight should be 5 to 6 pounds and cannot be ordered in small size. To get the desired number from a round shaped or rectangle shape cake base, the cake has to be curved out which bears a loss on weight. More the curve less the weight becomes and make the number cake look smaller in size. Hence, if ordered for minimum 5 to 6 pounds the final size of the cake looks bigger.
