Need Teacher Appreciation Ideas
Decorating By scrapmomof3 Updated 8 May 2007 , 4:19pm by christielee
I want to make a cake for Teacher Appreciation week. I have looked at the gallery and found a few ideas, but nothing that has really hit me. I want to do an 11x15 with some kind of simple decoration (I am making 2 other teacher cakes, so I don't have alot of time to do anything extravagent).
Any ideas would be helpful! I have very little experience with fondant at this point, so mostly I would be doing a cake with BC icing and then decorations in BC as well.

I don't know if this will help, but for my son's last day I was going to make a few of those 'cupcake/flower pots' into school for his teachers... they look fairly simple and are turning out very cute for everyone...
I think they are a great Idea for any end-of-year, teacher appreciation and/or mother day project you could have...
I have seen teach cakes that are cute on here. The "blackboards" that a few members have made are super cute, and I also seen someone make "a box of crayons". Depending on what grade the teacher teaches I guess, but you could decorate the cake to look like a box of crayons outta BC=) Otherwise I am in love with the CC bouquets everyone is doing right now too!

Okies here is a link to some of the crayon cakes that are so cute...

And here is a link to the blackboards. I like these due to all teachers have blackboards, but also for the fact you can write what you want on it! Jen

I'm a teacher and would appreciate ANYTHING! If you're looking for quick but striking how about a gift box cake with a gumpaste bow and a tag with a 'thank you' written on it.
Is 'teacher appreciate week' some kind of national thing or just your child's school? We don't have anything like this in the UK...

Emma, Tuesday, May 8 is National Teacher day in the US. Well, actually in our district the whole week is teacher appreciation...
Please accept a THANK YOU from me for being a teacher!! I think all teachers are far too often underappreciated!
I'm doing indivdual cakes for my teachers in the shape of coffe mugs and tea pots. I feel they coud use the extra caffine!

I'm a teacher- and my district has Teacher Appreciation all week, too. Personally, I would loooove a small coffee shaped cake with a Starbucks gift card attached!! 
OR a CC bouquet in a mug with a Starbucks card tucked in somehow. Can you tell I'm a Starbucks fiend?
I am actually making this for the entire staff and will leave it in the teacher's lounge for anyone who wants a piece.
Here is a question....I am planning on having a signed card placed next to the cake thanking the staff for all of their work. Should I leave my phone number under my name in the chance that someone likes the cake enough and would want to hire me to do a cake for them? Or would that be considered too tacky?

Hmm..... I might leave it with the secretary, and tell her that if anyone asks, she could give them your number.
Cakesonoccasion that is VERY FUNNY! I made a little fondant card next to it that said thanks, but now I have to go make a new one!lol

scrapmomof3, I was kind of wondering that too. I think I might wait a few days and then ask if I could put a flyer in the lounge?
