My November '08 moms club is having a group birthday party for our November babies. As of now, 5 kids (+ families) are confirmed, so instead of 1 cake, I was thinking of something where each kid would have their own mini cake with candle to blow out . I could do fun cupcakes or I found this on the wilton site: http://www.wilton.com/idea/Bears-Birthday

Has anyone come across anything like this? The bears are cute, but, meh... I don't have the mini bear pan and I just did a 3d cuddly bear this weekend, so I'm a little bear'd out. But this isn't until November, so maybe I'll be over it by then.

In any event, I really like the concept of 1 party cake and a few mini cakes that tie into 1 theme. Any ideas are much appreciated.

I think a stack of presents is always super festive. I love this one:

Each one could be personalized for the bday girl/boy and you could tie them all together with a theme if you still wanted.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your Nov cake. Sounds super fun!
