It's for a 14 year old boy, with no options for his cake. I am doing it free but would love to still do a great job on it. HELP me please, I need ideas....

Anyone???

I still need to bake it too

Does he like sports, video games, ??? I made an x-box cake for a teen once and he loved it. Just decorated a square cake to look like the box and used fondant for the controller and the buttons.

When I have orders like that I pipe bubble letters just hb and their name on a sheet.
Sorry I don't have any pix to show you

Also if you look in my pix I have a number of cakes using cutout fondant circles.
Maybe these will give you some inspiration:

Thanks to the both of you, you responded very quickly!!

He does like video games, sports, skateboarding, typical boy stuff. I guess I was looking to do something different, not real sure. I wanted to make a skateboard but don't have enough time for the wheels and trucks to dry.

It's in the oven now

What about just piping a skateboard top on it? One dimensional, so you just see the idea of a skateboard.

I would outline a skateboard, then maybe draw a flame design on it.

Quick and easy.
