I need an idea for a sweet 16 cake. Is there a trick to looking up a particular cake in the gallery? I don't want to go through all 21000 children's cakes or 21000 birthday cakes to search for a sweet 16 cake. can anyone tell me the trick to find just those pictures or does anyone have an idea they could share? The customer wants 16 incorrporated onto the cake somewhere.

I try to use words that would describe the essence of what I want. In other words, use words that describe the theme of the cake since that's probably how others have listed their pics ("whimsical", "polka dots", "pink", "scrolls", etc.).

As for an idea, how about something whimsical using pink and purple colors (they go great together) with strips or dots or whimsical flowers scattered about or perhaps stars "shooting" off the cake layers (i.e. fondant or gum paste star cutouts wired using floral wire) with a funky-looking "16" for a cake topper?

Hope this helps get you going. Good Luck!

P.S. Post your finished design!

My niece wanted a simple "elegant" cake for her sweet 16. I made the "16" out of royal icing to put on top. Here's a link to it here

Some of us did put Sweet 16 in the title on the cake when uploading them
