I have been looking at cakes for her FOREVER and I can't decide on anything - she just turned 3 on Tuesday and I made a small cake and since she always wants to help me decorate cakes I mixed some vanilla and colours and let her paint the fondant (she loved it!) but we are having her party on the weekend and I have no idea what to do! I was thinking 3 tiers - I'm think 8',6" and 4" but can do other sizes if the design needs it.
She loves everything really...I love the castle cakes but have never done one and I don't know that I have enough time now....help please....

So many things you can do for a "girly" cake. If I could do girly cakes ONLY I would. What things is she interested in? Her favorite toy? Nursery rhyme? I would go with a theme of something that she likes.

Be sure to post that photo

Here are some ideas from the gallery.

This could be done with any favorite animal, not just a dog. Maybe a kitty or teddy bear, whatever is her favorite.

If you're looking for a tiered design that would be simple, here's one. You could put a fondant rubber ducky on top, that would be cute for a kid.

I've seen this Tinkerbell candle at WalMart and other stores.

Sorry! I thought I replied and I didn't - must have just thought about it.

Thank you for taking the time to give me ideas!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, I have one question

Barbaranne, I just learned how to copy pics from my favorites to a thread. How do you copy pics and then put them in a thread in a list like you did above?

Jadedlogic, if I can figure this out, I'll be back with a list.

When I am looking at the picture in the gallery, I just highlight the url, copy, then paste into the email. Also, just below the image, there is another url you can highlight and copy/paste.

To make that list I have, just paste one in, then hit 'enter/return' to go down a line or two.

I hope this answers your questions. If not, let me know.
