Birthday Cake ideas
 

My niece's 8th birthday is coming up and my SIL has asked me to make a cake
for her. I have always made my kids' cakes, and they're pretty popular :)
Here are a couple I've done:

Anyway, she's into horses and Fairly Odd parents, and Sponge Bob, and
softball. Any ideas?

TIA,

Using a square tin, a baseball diamond would be a cinch for you going on
what you have previous accomplished.

Those are awesome!! Were the kitten and the little figure on the 2nd
cake edible?

And I loved your Wizard of Oz cake too!

Well, given your talent, and building on Dana's idea about the baseball
diamond...how about SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward vs. Timmy Turner,
Cosmo and Wanda? Not sure how to work the horse in there. The figures
could be toy action figures, or frosting characters like you did on your
Oz cake. Whatever you do, please post a picture!!

SpongeBob's shape would make an easy cake and you could serve Crabby
Patties if you can get the secret recipe outta SpongeBob. Also, when
my son was small, the local bakery made a baseball shaped cake for his
birthday and it was a big hit.

Absolutely! The yarn ball was cake covered in fondant "yarn", and the kitten
was fondant. Stitch was fondant too, as was his surfboard.

Thank you!

That's a cool idea! I'll have to look at the characters to see how I'd want
to do it.
Thanks again!

I was thinking of that too, since he is a square :)
Crabby patties...hmm...what do they look like? Are they on a bun?

Thanks :)

I guess you've "seen" SpongeBob, but you haven't actually *watched*
the show yet... Crabby Patty is a secret recipe and it's a
cheeseburger as far as my eye can tell, but there's something
different about it - which *I think* has to be a secret sauce.

LOLOLOL!

Now go out there and INVENT!

:)

This was the winner in a Gulf Coast contest. I believe I got it from
a local paper,

Hey, don't forget that Krabby Patties are secretly assembled with
undersea cheese! Nope, can't reproduce them here on dry land...
