character cake

Decorated fictional frosting

A character cake is a cake decorated to depict a recognizable figure—typically a cartoon character, superhero, or pop culture icon.

Parents often order character cakes for children's birthday parties: She wanted a Frozen character cake for her sixth birthday.

The term distinguishes these from plain or abstractly decorated cakes.
