My grandson is turning 13 and I am at a loss as to what to make him for a cake. He keeps changing his mind. He goes from a bike, to star wars to topsy turvy with flames and xbox. I need some ideas of a awesome cake for a new teenager.........any photos of cakes you have done for a boy of thirteen will be appreciated............he just wants an awesome cake!!! tia

Hi Madge

I've made a cake for a 13 year old boy, they too were stuck for ideas...it went from a favourite football team, a car . In the end we went with the theme of his party, they were having an ice skating party so I made an ice skater that had fallen over with his legs in the air.

Another teenage boy was really into mini skateboards and that was his birthday present so I made a mini skate park with gumpaste ramps and skate boards, decorated with spray colours like grafitti.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll come up with something

They were great ideas, but I still have no clue what to do, I was hoping I would have a bunch of great ideas on here...........oh well. thank you for your ideas

how about a topsy turvy with a star wars figure riding a bike for the topper.

Madge I can't offer any help but I just want to say that I would rather do 10 girly cakes than 1 boy cake. Well for bigger boys anyway. I find it very difficult to come up with something for the 13+ age for males. Is it just me?

I would ask him to pick a theme. Is he decorating for the party?

Lyndseyb52: Did you post a pic of your skateboard cake? There aren't very many good skateboard cakes out there (believe me, I've searched). My husband wants me to make a cake for his boss who used to own a skateboard company. I would love to see what you came up with if you have any pictures.

OMG he just changed it to a Jungle Theme.................I hope thats the final choice now......he liked the shower cake I just did, which was really cool.........only he does not want the animals to have rattles and pacifiers lol....and the animals should look ferocious ugh....how to do that???

OMG he is already waivering on jungle cake......I give up. This is a tough one

okay... give him all that he wants... I dont know if you are a star wars fan like I am.. so i will go into some detail.. please dont be offended..

star wars 3.. return of the jedi.. they are in the jungle...

have figures riding the speeders (kinda like motocycles only cooler!!) that the storm troopers are riding through the jungle..

make the ewoks, (bear like creatures) and put them all around the cake. make some trees.. maybe even their tree houses.

that way he kinda gets all the ideas into one. HTH.

If you dont make him this cake.. umm.. you can make it for me !!! Except I would have to have darth vader on my cake somewhere !!!

tesso, I love this idea.........lately he has been star wars crazy.....I was thinking along those lines except I was going to incorporate too much.....I think this was an idea he even told me one day with the forrest and the vehicles, only I did not know what they all were...I think that is a good idea........thanks

tesso do you know of a cake like that I can see?

I'm sorry. I only have this vision in my head. I suggest getting the dvd and watching it, so you can get the full effect and details. once you see it, you will be psyched to do this cake.

you have to post a pic of this cake when done !!!

OMG now he is talking Halo............ugh.........how can I do all these things rolled into one?

this is what I made two sided cake haha
halo and star wars
