Okay, must admit I'm stumped. I've had a request to come up with a cake design for a child who's having a backwards party. Any ideas?

a backwards party is where you do things backwards... for example you wear your clothes backwards. walk backwards. i went to a party like this YEARS ago lol

maybe the writing on the cake backwards?? thats about all i can think of at the moment icon_sad.gif

Here's a thought ~ what about a reverse tiered cake? a 6" on bottom, 8" on top of that, and 10" on top? I don't know if you can even do that, but I'm sure some smart cookie on this forum can help!!!

"Happy Birthday" and the child's name could all be written backwards, but other than that, I have no idea!

If there is going to be an entire meal served at the party, they can start with a main course that looks like a dessert and end up with a cake that looks like a main course.

sounds like a neat idea although other than the writing and the desert that looks like real food i'm stumped too. be sure to post the end result i'd love to see how it turns out.

My first thought was frosting the inside of the cake as well.

You could cover the cake with fondant and decorate it to look like the inside of a cake??

Another idea.When using paper plates turn them over so the back is facing.

You could put the decorations and writing on the cake backwards. Maybe have the kids wear their clothes backwards and walk backwards. I like the idea someone suggested about the main course looking like dessert and dessert looking like main course.
