Kids can make some pretty creative, bizarre and random demands when it comes to birthday party themes. Well, the same applies to birthday cakes.

We scoured the viral archives and asked the HuffPost Parents Facebook community for their kids’ unusual birthday cakes. And the results did not disappoint.

From Alton Brown-themed to “Hulk Princess,” here are 15 hilariously random and totally creative birthday cakes for kids.

Trash Can Cake

"I made a wheelie bin cake for my sons 4th" -- Sahra O'Doherty
Fantasy Factory Beer
Stacey Durnbaugh Palmer
"My daughter just turned 4 and was insistent that her birthday cake feature a photo from the label of Fantasy Factory beer, complete with a pistol-wielding cat riding a fire-breathing unicorn in front of a rainbow. Normal 4-year-old stuff. We removed the gun from the photo and substituted in a birthday banner just so the parents of all her friends wouldn't get too judgy." -- Stacey Durnbaugh Palmer
Alton Brown Cake
Jessica Lucille
"My tiny human said 'Alton' before he said 'mama.' So of course this cake was necessary. Still not happy with the writing or the sperm shaped balloons, but the picture of Alton is pretty fantastic." -- Jessica Lucille
Matt Damon in "The Martian" Cake

Matt Damon made it after all
