Okay fellow cc'ers my hubbt turns 40 on Monday and has now decided he wants a cake. Which is fine, I am just in a rut for ideas. I need something simple as my dd's will want to help (6 and 3). Things that he likes: Disney, Pirates, Trading cards, Movies. If anyone knows of some links to pics of fairly simple designs, I would appreciate the help. I am pressed for time.

TIA

Gail

Do you have an edible image printer? You could do a pirates of the carribean picture and place it on the cake.

Or you could do a pirate ship they are fairly easy especially if you don't have to make it all that big.


Just a couple of suggestions.....

maybe some movie passes to go with it?

Flat ice the cake and give the girls icing bags and just let them squeeze icing all over the cake. It's so cute when the girls can tell daddy they decorated the cake all by themselves.

cakeladyinri - I wish I had an image printer, it is on my wish list.

keonicakes - Movie Passes are a great idea, I will sneak out to the theater tomorrow and get him some.

vrmcc1 - I had not thought of letting the girls decorate the cake. I think that is a good idea! I will post a picture of the cake and a link to a picture of them decorating it. My poor Kitchen may never be the same after they are done with it.

I have been so stressed this week from work. I could not wrap my mind around a cake.

Thanks everyone.

Just wanted to thank everyone again for their ideas. The girls had a lot of fun decorating the cake. The oldest kept coming in the kitchen wanting to know when I was going to be done so SHE could be a decorator. I made a large batch of buttercream thinking that they would love to squeeze it out all over the cake. Well turns out they wanted to use the leftover MMF from Stitch to decorate it. The baby ate more MMF than she rolled out. Here is a link to the final item:
