Linda Kaye Reveals How to Create a Truly Memorable Birthday Party

What does it take to host a birthday party kids will remember for years to come? Hire Hannah Montana to sing Happy Birthday? Pack up the kids and take them to trapeze school? Load their goodie bags with Playstation products?

If you’ve been thinking along these lines, Linda Kaye, the woman behind the parties at the Central Park Zoo and the Museum of Natural History, invites you to think again. In fact you might be downright mixing-bowled over to learn that you don’t have to leave the house to wow the seen-it-all-before boys and girls on your guest list, and everything you need is right in your local grocery store.

So, what’s the recipe for a successful birthday party? Let your little guests make the birthday cake. Having their hand in the creation of the cake, and eating it too, gives the children such a wonderful sense of accomplishment and appreciation for what goes into making something taste and look delicious.

These parties truly take the cake! And the proof is in the stack of fan mail Linda Kaye has on file. To take all the guesswork out of this party, Kaye has cooked up a book that gives you the step-by-step along with heaping helpings of ideas and a simply delicious cake recipe from award-winning cake expert, Rose Levy Beranbaum.
