I'm making a birthday cake for my cousin. She'll be 15, and she's a real girly girl. She loves purses, but I don't really want to make a purse, though I've considered it.

I want to make something really special and really cool. But I'm drawing a blank. I'd love to take a stab at a stacked cake of some sort, but I don't know.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

Just a thought, but what if you did a stacked cake with small fondant purses here and there and maybe a larger one for the topper?

I love making these for girls, you can put it on top of a stacked cake if you want and vary the colours

bump - any more ideas?

Hi Ya'll,

15 years old! Wow what a hard age.

My idea--Simple tiered cake in her favorite colors with lots of multicolored flowers.

Or to tease her a first birthday cake theme with the 1 on the opposite side from the 5.

Have a great day!

tschamberlain and bouncyboing are on the right track. Go with that and use lots of pink. Girly girls love pink. I know I do and so do my daughters.


Good Luck and don't forget to post the finished cake.

I have done a couple of girly cakes. They are in my whimsical cake gallery under pink graduation cake and purse graduation cake.

I asked my daughter and her friend who are 13 & 15. They said a stacked cake with small fondant purses & high heels would be great. Lots of pink.

i think this cake would b a good idea, i cant remember who its made by but anyways its a great cake. great for a girl and perfect if you want to make a stacked cake

What about a stacked cake with pinks and a royal icing tiara on top. I know that there are tiara patterns floating around somewhere on here.

Thanks so much! I love using marabou!

i LOVE this cake. i can't wait to try it myself. thought i'd share it, it's pretty girlie i think. the "diamonds" are rock candy.

what about shoes? tons of cute cakes with shoes. girls love their shoes

So...what is maribou?

fluffy Feathers! The soft boa kind! Like you see on pretty bras!

Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas everyone!!!

? They seem to love a good edible photograph of themselves

Here is a cake that I had saved. I thought at the time that it would be perfect for a teenage girl's birthday. It is so simple but very girly!

I think I've decided on doing a 2 tiered stacked cake. I'll do the bottom cake in lavender and the top cake in pink. I have 8 inch pans already, could I do 8 inch and 6 inch? I don't want to have a TON of cake left over. Or should I invest in 10 inch pans, and do 10 inch and 6 inch?

I think I'm going to do dot borders around the bottoms of both cakes and write Happy Birthday Jessica on the sides. I was thinking of making a J out of candy melts and having that be the topper of the cake.

Does that sound like something that a 15 yo would think was cute?

Thanks!

Jamie, that sounds really cute to me. 15 yo girls are so into themselves most of the time anyway.. when I was 15 I would have LOVED to have my initial on top of a cke.. I may have to do that for my birthday LOL

Very Cool idea.

I just ran accross this awesome girly cake by adven68, and thought it might help.
