Ok another dilema was the cake,
Do I make a cake to match the invitations?
Make a whimsical cake? (Only want to do to try it but won't do it for no one else for free and not good enough to charge this is a good excuse to do it)
Or make a giant cupcake
NOTE PICTURES OF CAKE ARE NOT MINE ONLY BORROWING AS EXAMPLE TO HELP MY POLL
DD loves all three ideas
Also posted my dd's party invitation picture
Also want to say the pictures I borrowed are very talented CC'ers love these cakes!!!

I know I'm not supposed to say the Lord's name in vain but my first words when I read your reply first I looked at the invitation to see what you were taling about and I went" OH My God!!!!!!!
You are a genious!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much I feel like I just wasted all this time!!!
I can always do the cupcake for another occasion not as difficult as a whimsical cake. I'm just not good at ideas and by looking at my photos you can see I'm pretty bad at copying them too LOL

Lookig at the invitation I would make two 8" cakes, two layers each, (or larger depending on the size of the party) and stack them on top of each other, then decorate like the invitation.

I don't know if you have it or not but the wilton 2006 or 2007 idea book has a cake layout that is the shape of a cake and it looks alot like the cake on the invitation. Just looked and it is in the 2006 yearbook that wiltons puts out every year. If you could get your hands on one I would recommend to look at it. Good luck!!

How cool, a party where little girls will decorate their own cake, maybe they should take it home and share it with their families so YOUR cake will be the center of attention! I would've LOVED a party like that while growing up!

Can you post a link to the thread?

And I hear you with the whole excitement thing, I love planning birthday parties! Speacially knowing the smile it will put in our childs face! Would love to see pics of the cake and the girls cakes as well! icon_biggrin.gif

Wow cakedecor, can't wait to see the pictures of your finished cake! For flames I saw on a Wilton book that they used fondant, the little leaf cut-outs, one med. yellow and one small orange glued together. Oh and you know what would be cute too, try to find a white cake stand, so it looks just like the one on your invite!! Thanks for the link to the thread!

OK Practiced the tilted cake like in the whimsical bakehouse, not slanted enough and didn't care for smooth icing or decoration we just ate this at home used some french vanilla cake mix with buttercream dream and cookies and cream for filling maybe next time I should do more icing and make sure it is evenly slanted so there is no bump on top of the cake please critic my cake, this is only a practice cake i will still decorate my dd's cake like the invitation
