I have a birthday cake to do for my daughter who is turning 4 on the 12th. It will have to feed about 40 people. I somewhat have this cake under control. The problem is I also have (want) to do a small "personal" cake for my nephew who will be at my daughters birthday party on his actual birthday...AND I have been asked if I can "squeeze" a cake to serve 50 for an LDS/Mormon baptism. When are these due....SATURDAY! 
Please help me with ideas for my 17 year old nephews cake, and the baptism cake. The baptism cake is for a man in his 20's who is joining the church.
Thanks in advance...I'm going to the corner now to curl up in the fetal position and suck my thumb until I get some responses... 
What does your nephew like?
Try going through the galleries!! There are many fabulous ideas there.
Get out of the fetal position,be a big girl and search this site.
You are sure to find something you can do!!
Get out of the fetal position
lmao!!! yes honey look around the site and you shall find tons of inspiration!!!!
For the baptisim you could do a very simple sheet cake with cross' or something on it, you could do the cross pan, if you don't have access to the pan you could cut a sheet cake into a cross.... you could do a simple "Congratulations on your Baptisim _____" I'm terrible with words so that's not too religious lol....
your nephew.... 17 years old... probably into cars pretty big or maybe video games? Could do a Too Fast Too Furious type thing with a race track ontop of a sheet cake and a few match box race cars..... could also fit into the theme of video games with all the racing games they have now... can you tell I do alot of sheet cakes? lmao also have a 35 year old going on 10 year old husband that loves for video games lmao and a 7 year old daughter and all my step kids are 14 and under so no help with the teen thing sorry 
Maybe since he's 17 you could do a naughty cake for him? Hire him a stripper for the cost of a cake mix lmao 
Lots of ideas for an older teen but may not fit for your family. 
You can do this!! I agree...do some searching in the galleries under the christening/baptism cakes. For your nephew, maybe something simple in chocolate or as suggested, go with an interest of his. Does he have a favorite sports team you can do something with?
Good luck!!

Thanks for the responses!
When I go into the galleries and try to search I get a message saying it's being worked on and to check back soon. Does anyone else get this? 
I have looked all over in the galleries without the search feature and there are so many cakes to try and get through I'm getting frustrated.
The problem I am having with the LDS/Mormon baptism cake is they don't use the cross symbol at all. Any LDS members out there that have done baptism cakes?
For you nephew go simple. I have one in my photos that takes about 30 minutes to decorate, it is the chocolate square one with the cookies on the side. It is so simple and yummy. For the baptism I would check the galleries and just remember simple!
Excellent idea! What kind of cookies are those?

I have done a couple of LDS baptism cakes before. I did fondant in all white with fondant roses. I also did one with the wilton book pan, one side had a floral arrangment in BC and the other side I piped a verse from the Book of Mormon the family had requested. Hope that helps.
Those are pirouette cookies by Pepperidge farms. I've used them before and they work great. A little pricey though! For the baptism you could do a CTR cake. Maybe in the shape of the shield or just have CTR in nice letters on top. A CTR chocolate or buttercream transfer would be easy and you could write congratulations on your baptism next to it.
When my 22-year-old son became Catholic and was baptised, I did a cross all in BC. Chocolate roses and an ivory background, it's in my photos.
