Hi, I have a special cake to make for this weekend - a 50th birthday party for my boyfriend. I was thinking along the lines of a "Grease" - 50's theme. Does anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions or have you seen any pics for a cake like this? Thanks, Mary Ann

Adven68 did a beautiful 50's cake: http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&meta=search&search=50s&cat=0&pos=1&search=50s

Hi,

I found this and thought maybe you could do a FBCT of it:

Also, anything to do with records, soda shops, poodle skirts, Elvis, etc. might work. Good luck!

Thought I would add this. FBCT stands for frozen buttercream transfer. Here is a link on how to do it.

Beachcakes....actually, I did find the picture you suggested...and thought it was great - I'll probably use some of those ideas. PinkPanther, thanks for the "Grease car" I may be able to use that also.

What about a jukebox?

Here's an advert from the 1950's.... a tad naughty but if you doing a cake with fifties themes it would be fun on a plaque



A jukebox



Or Superman was big in the 50's, a stamp was taken out to commemorate him.... be back in the news this year too with the new film...



Could put a slogan on it, Unlike Superman First seen in the 50's and now remodelled........... your our Original and Best!!!

Sparklycake...I love that coffee ad. Where did you find it. Thanks all for your input. I'll be sure to post a pic when I'm done.

I just google imaged 1950's to see what would come up.

I just posted a 50s themed cake to the photo gallery, maybe you can get some ideas from it. (Sorry, I don't know how to attach to this message!)

Allison, that cake is GORGEOUS!!!

Thank you - it was fun to do! I got my inspiration from a "back to the 50s" cake, from Just Fab. Pastries. Their cakes are amazing!
