Father’s Day is right around the corner and one tradition we have in our house is making fun ManCakes for our dad.
ManCakes for Father’s Day
When I was young one of my favorite memories is when my dad would be home on Saturday mornings and would make us all sorts of different shaped pancakes. I normally got a softball and bat or a treble clef since I loved softball and music. My sister would often get a ballerina but he could make pretty much anything. Sometimes we’d just get a fun mancake that we could dress up or make or own. I think that is where my love of making fun pancakes came about. We also loved going to Denny’s or Village Inn and getting their ManCakes for breakfast.
Making ManCakes has now become a fun tradition for our Father’s Day breakfasts. The look changes every year but these ones were made to look like my husband.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, these Man Cakes would be a perfect breakfast. You could design them to look anyway you want and customize them to look like your kids’ dad. Our dad has lots of black hair so raisins came in handy for that. We also used bananas and chocolate chips for the eyes, blueberry for the nose and strawberries for the red lips. 🙂
We’ve been making these for a few years now and these guys think they are pretty great too! I’ve never seen them gobble up their fruit so fast. Maybe I’ll make these every day. 😉 It was funny to listen to them decide which body part to eat first.
They thought they looked like their dad.
I don’t know…What do you think?
What Father’s Day breakfast traditions do you have? If you were to make ManCakes for your dad/husband, what would they look like?
These are adorable Kara!
Thanks Kate! They were lots of fun.
I’m going to make these tomorrow!! I don’t have to worry about the raisans, my husband doesn’t have hair!
lol! Well, that does make it easier. 😉
Oh, those are SO cute! I may have to make these for my 4 kids. (I’ve got 3 boys and a girl.)

Thanks! Your kids would love them. Especially if you can make them look like their dad. 😉
These mancakes are the best!!!!
These are so flippin’ cute, pun intended! I remember that food shaped like “stuff” was always popular with my brothers and me when we were growing up 🙂 Sweet boys, too!
I’d love to have you come visit me sometime @ Big Doll’s Boomtown!
