My sons cub scout blue & gold dinner is coming the end of Feb. He wants to join in on the mom & son cake contest. As noted in the subject line it needs to be spy theme-ish. I have seen a couple things but one was a bomb and I'm not sure that would go over so well and some I'm concerned will be to hard. It needs to be easy enough that he can help (he's eight). Any ideas would be very much appreciated. I haven't done much in the lines of decorating so bear with me if I ask a ton of questions. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!

I've got a picture of a spy cake I did a few months ago... Wait here while I go find it.

Okay, here it is. It was made to match the party invitations. I copied the picture they gave me, and the fingerprints were freehanded. Your son could do the fingerprint part, since they're mostly just squiggly lines within a loose oval shape.
Hope that helps,

My daughter's birthday party is going to be spy theme this year, so we're also looking for ideas.
You could make the cake be a cipher wheel. Here are instructions on how to make a cipher wheel.

There are also some spy cakes in the gallery.

This one might be easy enough for your son to help with.
