It's for a girl's 21st birthday and no one had any ideas what kind of cake to do. Finally they said how about blackjack, for 21. I said okay, but now what?

I did a search and there were only a couple but not sure how I would do the cards and how to make a blackjack table a little more appropriate or interesting for a 21 year old girl?

I need ideas! Also, nothing too, too difficult because I'm not THAT good and I need it in 2 days.

Thanks so much!

I saw in one of the Wilton books (either 2005 or 2006) they made a birthday cake- they were 2 square cakes and it was playing cards- one was the 10 of spades and the other was an A of hearts to make it 21! It was really cute- just another thought!

You could do two cards to show 21. but also you can make casino chips out of modeling chocolate or even fondant. there are pictures of Vegas style casino chips on Ebay.
Another Idea would be to have on a cake is to have the playing cards real or made by you with casino chips and different buildings that represent the Las Vegas Strip (Pyramid, NYSkyline, Castle, Pirate ship etc. Lots of glitz and glam for a vegas style 21st.
