Summer parties are exciting, and for those who love sharks nothing could be better than celebrating a special occasion with shark themed cakes and cupcakes. In this post, we are sharing some of our favorite design ideas, tutorials and the best items we have found to make your shark party dessert a dream come true.
A shark themed cake gives you so much room for creativity in the design and makes for an excellent party decoration. You have the freedom to easily customize the design and incorporate your favorite types of sharks, like great whites or hammerheads, by simply adding a few items like shark figurines.
Cupcakes are an easy way to have a cute dessert that provides guests with a takeaway party favor, like a shark figurine.
The video below is our current favorite stylized shark cake. Zoes Fancy Cakes shares a complete tutorial on how to make an incredibly detailed shark face cake from a photograph. One of our favorite aspects of this cake design is that there is no cake board or structural elements required. Even if you want to use a cake topper or frosting sheet to style your cake, this video is definitely worth watching.

The ways to customize a cake to incorporate your favorite shark themes are endless. You can make underwater scenes with your favorite species of sharks, sharks circling a boat or maybe even some casual swimmers. Or you could even style a humorous shark cake as a swimming pool design with sharks swimming amongst casual pool goers.

Cupcakes
Style cupcakes with a shark theme by using any combination of cupcake picks and wrappers. A creative idea is to use a blue or wave themed cupcake wrapper with shark fin cupcake picks. This design would look perfect with a cupcake with blue icing. For an extra touch to orient the design towards a shark attack, you could also add some red sprinkles.
