ok...I need help....this is what she wants...now keep in mind its for her husband 
heart shaped cake...(carrot w/white cream cheese icing)
something small
his favorite color is Blue...a dark blue...what goes with blue...how about red ( this was how she said it)
hugs and kisses (x's and o's)
ummm how do I do this keeping it "male"....and keeping it from looking terribly patriotic ...hard I know when the colors are already red and blue with white icing.....I guess I could always resort to red icing..... 
( I just keeping thinking gross....red cream cheese on carrot cake?)
Happy Birthday ( im thinking banner on the board or on it)
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
How about one of those heart shaped lingerie cakes? The "lady" could have some blue lingerie on and maybe have "xoxo" tatooed right above her bosom?
thank you! cute idea...but her kids will be at the dinner 
that might be too much of an eye full for them! <---
Ummmmm 
It Has to be a heart shape??? I am thinking a manly cake just went down the drain with it being the shape of a heart nevermind x's & o's.
umm you could try a to make a funky design with the x & o ??? something abstract???
Good luck! 
Now i am not going to be able to sleep till i figure this out! 
How does he do that? And so quickly? Never mind some things are better left a mystery...... 
I can't even do that on paper--forget doing it with Paintbrush or something! WOOO HOOO
I dont have to do the heart...i can do round...
and chocolate instead of carrot....
BOO HOO
I already baked the carrot!
ideas for round anyone?
oh and if I want I can add a color or keep the red white and blue....or blue and another color ......just as long as there is blue?
did I mention this has to be ready by tomorrow morning??
Doug, your ideas are so terrific! THANK YOU from all of us who look to you for creative man juices....I don't really mean that how it sounds I guess!!! 
I would still use one of Doug's templates and just do it on a round cake. I think they are great ideas and manly too.
take above ideas and just do on a round?
(and I'll take the carrot cake!, please!)
ok here is what I did.....thanks for the sketches Doug! and my kids already attacked the carrot cake trust me ....you dont want a cake they already went after!!
Thanks for the help!!!
Thi sis as manly as I could make an x's and o's cake ....all it needed was some yellow and it wouldve been color good enough for Superman!
Doug, it has to be so satisfying to see your sketches come to life!
thanks!!!
I added the banner to say Happy Birthday because I messed up writing it on the cake and the blue stained the white so I couldnt re do it
so it had a twinsy touch...
