If you’ve ever wanted to excite your children about geography, why not make a world cake? It’s super easy!
Just bake a round cake in any flavor (I prefer chocolate). Get some white frosting. You will want to get two containers so that you don’t have to scrimp.
You will be frosting the entire cake with blue frosting, so one whole frosting container should be tinted blue with cake icing tint, which you can get at party stores and even some craft stores. Frost the cake.
Now open the second icing container and tint it green. Looking at a globe or a world map, grab a table knife and outline the shape of the continents on the blue icing, making a ridge. Now fill in the ridge with green icing.
It’s easier if you put the green icing into a ziplock bag (not a cheap bag that will pop and leave your hands green for a week). Snip a small hole in one corner of the bag, and outline the continents before filling them in. Depending on the look you want, you can use a table knofe to smooth the green continents.
Now your world cake is complete. This is a perfect cake for a themed party about geography, world travel, missions, or airplanes.
If you enjoyed making this world cake, you will love Living Geography: Travel the World from your Living Room.

I love this idea! So simple yet so cute! Thanks for the idea!
This cake was fun and easy to make!
We did world cakes during our Exploring Countries and Cultures year of MFW. 🙂 That was fun!
It’s perfect to have at a geography class about countries and cultures!
This looks really cool!
It was super fun to make!
That would certainly be a fun way for the kids to learn geography! It looks great!
Thanks, it made the kids smile.
Your continents look pretty good. I would fear mine would look like blobs more than anything else!
I’m surprised at how good it came out!
