My soon to be 5 yr. old was given the choice of choosing anything for his b-day cake. *sigh* He wants sharks, ice skates (these blue lightening ones he saw on the internet), and dragonflies. I suggested cupcakes with those different designs in chocolate, but he wants a cake!

HELP!?!?!

here's a crazy idea, you could have an ice skater skating and a shark breaking through the ice and the dragonflies trying to help the skater.
Ok so it just popped into my head...lol!

How about him ice skating on a frozen pond with sharks just below the surface? You could even have him on an iceberg with fins sticking out of the water all around him if he's not to big on realism...
As for the dragonflies...I got nothin'...sorry.
Good luck!

Is this a new 5 yr old trend?? My DD wants a Princess and Sponge Bob theme AHHH. Great ideas BTW

wow what a creative son!! he'll have one great looking cake!! can't wait to see the pics

Thanks for your ideas.....After MUCH talking, I have convinced him to go with a Ben 10 cake. *Whew* That was hard work! But thanks again everyone!!
