I am in the planning stages for creating a cake for a childs birthday party the theme is Disney's Little Einsteins. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a shaped cake that might fit this theme. I was thinking of trying to do something with the rocket ship that they fly around in but Im not sure how to go about shaping the cake. Or if there is a pan I could use and decorate it to look like rocket. I have never shaped a cake before.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hmmm...I dont' think I'm gonna be much help on the cake shaping, but I've heard that it's easier to do with a frozen or very cold cake.

I was just going to mention to you to add music notes!!! They're always singing or playing notes, anyway.

Good Luck!!

here's a cake I made this fall for a friend

hope it helps

Thanks for the replies, I recently found out it is Baby Einstein not Little Einstein. I was able to get a couple of the DVD covers to look at. Depending on the number of servings they need I will was thinking of doing something incorporating the caterpillar on cake on top of a sheet cake. If not too many servings are needed I will probably do either the Goat or the dragon on a sheet cake.
Once I complete the cake I will take some photos and post them.

This is the Baby Einstein cake I did this past weekend. I got the idea from Sunflowerbagel here on CC. The caterpillar is 2 mini sports ball cakes put together, so you get extra servings!
