I have been asked to do a birthday cake for my best friends niece. The Grandmother asked me to come up with some design. She doesn't have much to go on other than she's into Bratz. I am thinking diva look....pink camo or leopard print. Any other ideas???? I have not a clue as to what a nine year old is into.

I did her cousin's birthday cake last month. ....The hula girl in my photos. I would like to WOW this little girl and make something really special. HELP CC!!!!

anyone??

I did a basic sheet cake with Bratz figures for a 9year old last year. Nothing spectucular though, but the mom wanted to use the figures and I was just getting into doing cakes for "others" (as in other than family!)
Check out the Wilton yearbooks. There is a cake, but I can't remember if it's this year or last, that is a stacked fondant cake that says "Girls Rule" and has cutouts on it. I'm doing that for that little girl this year, for her 10th birthday.
9 is a hard age...they're too big for princesses and fairytales, but they still want something fun.

Here is the design I am getting ready to do for my daughter's birthday next weekend. Maybe it will give you inspiration!

I recently did a slumber party cake for my granddaughters 11th birthday party. It was a huge hit. Very easy to make too.

you could check out wiltons celebrate with fondant you can make the dream doll house, my neice who is turning 8, wants it for her birthday, i suppose 8 and nine there isnt much difference in taste. Good luck.
