Any ideas or suggestions for a cake celebrating menopause? A woman very close to me needs a positive approach to the subject. Thanks for any help! This would either be a cheer-up cake the next time I see her, or I'd take ideas for her 50th birthday next month. Thanks!
How about using the character Maxine? IMO, her sayings are too funny and perfect for menopausal woman. I should know 
Here's a few for inspiration. http://images.google.com/images?q=maxine&hl=en
Can't wait to see your cake.
My Mommy & Pops bought a coffe mug for me a few years back when I started ..THE SYMPTOMS.. It has this saying on it....
MENopause
MENstrual cramps
MENtal illness
Ever notice that most of our troubles begin with MEN?
I get a chuckle every month when I reach for that cup, because it reminds me to keep my humor, for this too shall pass.
Maybe using this saying with decor that she likes would bring her some cheer.
you could make it look like a fan or an ice cube for the hot flashes and night sweats..

I've also heard the saying: They're not hot flashes, they're power surges!
Thanks for the great ideas. Now I have to decide what to do.
Well? Aren't you going to tell us?
(I'm doing Maxine on Friday for a woman who has a list of ailments a mile long.)
I think I'll just do one cake, her birthday. And I think I'm going for simple and nice--some fresh flowers and maybe a gardening theme (she's a big gardener). I'm definitely going to make her a humorous card though. Most likely a combination of Maxine and the "MENopause, MENstral cramps, MENtal Illnes" suggestion.
Doug, I think we had some similiar scenes last winter.
Thanks again. I'll post a picture when it's done.
