Draw 4 cupcakes or small cakes on a table. Put name and age on each cake, with a banner across the top that says "Happy Birthday"....

That's just off the top of my head.

Also, check out the photo gallery here, maybe there's something that will inspire you.

Welcome and Good Luck!

If all the birthdays are in nov maybe you could do somethng related to thanksgiving, a fun design or something like that. Or you could also see if they all have anything they like in common and you could incorporate that to the cake. I really do not have any good ideas, but I hope this might help.:S

what about doing a four tiered cake with one tier for each person decorated with something that each of them likes? Maybe do the top tier for the 2 yr. old in something she likes...flowers....princes...etc. could put on a tiara topper....then the next tier something the 13 yr. old likes....guitars...skateboards,etc...and so on.

How much cake do you need? You could do 4 different tiers and dedicate each tier to each different person with something they are interested in something they are interested in.

It needs to feed about 32 people. The birthdays we are celebrating are from August, September and October so it's not just one month.

4 small cakes all the same color each with theme birthday person will like, that way no one's feelings get hurt. We all want to be special. You can even make in diffrent flavors ect....

I think you should consider doing a combination cake for the three older ones and do something on the side that would be special for your 2 year old.

PS - Not only would that be more fun for your 2 year old, but when my youngest turned two she kind of spit all over her little cake when she blew out her candles. We didnt share that one! haha

I had the same problem one year with 4 birthdays. I made 6 inch cakes for each one and decorated them similar but different colors. If you need more servings make 8 inch ones. Very simple to do it this way and not have to worry with tiers. Roll out some MMF and cut circles and cut smaller circles out of the larger ones and use them (circles and middles) to decorate the cakes. You can frost them all white and use different colored circles on each one. That would make fun cakes I think.

How about a family tree? With each birthday person being their own apple or something?

Then a Happy Birthday across the bottom?

I would do a 12x18 sheet cake and then divide it into four sections and then decorate each section in either the favorite color or theme of that particular birthday person. That way there will be enough cake, and you'll make each one feel special.

Post your picture when you're done.
