Peace Symbol Birthday Party Ideas

The popular peace symbol of the 1960's never left the radar but fifty years later, it is certainly making a big comeback. Kids are donning their peace symbol shirts, jewelry, backpacks and more. This peace symbol is popular with both girls and boys. It makes a fun theme for a birthday party for tweens or teenagers. Need ideas for a peace symbol birthday party or even back to school party?

This peace symbol cake is really a "piece of cake."

Peace Symbol Cake Supplies:

• 1 box of cake mix or ingredients for your own homemade cake recipe
• 1 or more round cake pans
• Light colored icing
• Food coloring
• 1 tube of dark writing icing

Directions:

A peace symbol is super easy because it begins with a round cake pan with as many layers as you desire. It's also flexible because you can use any color icing for the background or better yet use food coloring to create separate three colors like blue, pink and yellow and "marble" them for a "tie dye" look.

Next add an outer ring and a line down the center from top to bottom. Now from the center, add a diagonal line from the right and left. Use black or any darker color like dark green so that the peace symbol is prominent.

Try this "Keep the Peace" six-layer salad for your party buffet.
