Hi fellow cakers!

I am getting ready to move from New JErsey to Colorado. I've always lived in Jersey so it's a big move for me. My best friend and some of my family are throwing me, my boyfriend, and my step son a going away party. I want to make a cake for everyone there as a goodbye/ we will miss you cake. I need an idea for a theme for decorating. I am going to do a 2 tiered cake, but I would like it to be fun. I just don't have any ideas for a theme...Does anyone have any suggestions?? THank you!!!

How about a road going from a NJ landmark to a Colorado landmark. Shore to mountains.

Maybe each tier could represent each state?

The maps of the states in each tier? A house in Colorado...hearts in the NJ state tier?

There are those heart candies at valentines "Miss You" ..."Be Mine" Etc..
You could do a cake - covered in white fondant - with little colored hearts with sayings on them:

"Miss You"
"Come visit"
"Call me"
"Jersey"
"Colorado"

Good luck

How about a car with Jersey tags and the windows saying colorado or bust?

A gps sheet cake with the route showing NJ to Colorado.

Open scrapbook - NJ page (Old family portrait, school pics, and the similiar) and a CO page (place holders for "Our Place," Family Visit," "Friends Forever")

HTH

How about making suitcase for each tier and maybe you can have a road (or map) on the cake base with Colorado and NJ on each side? You can make suitcase tags that say "Filled with wonderful memories."

What part of CO are you moving to? Since we have Denver, the mountains and then there is the small towns in the country?
