17 Can Be Sweet, Too! 38 Cake Ideas For Your 17-Year-Old's Birthday

Seventeen can be sweet, too! After the allure of turning 16 and before the thrill of being 18, there's the less talked about 17th birthday — an in-between year for sure, but still one to celebrate! Although your teen might feel a little bit old for a themed party, that doesn't mean their cake has to be boring. Whether you hone in on something that made their previous year amazing — maybe it was the year they fell in love with cooking, or Harry Potter? — focus on one of their hobbies, or highlight the fact that they might be getting their learner's permit soon, a 17-year-old's cake leaves a lot of room for fun.

Ahead, see some of our favourite 17th birthday cake ideas.
