I want to make a cake for by sister who is getting ready to wean her toddler. It has to be clean. Her husband is an elder in the congregation. No boobie cakes. 
We do refer to her as the chuck wagon. Her daughter is almost 2 and is getting cut off completely at 2. Neither her husband nor I can think of anything.
I do sculpted cakes, so that is not a problem. I just learned RKT and I can sculpt out of fondant. Any ideas out there?? 
Thanks
How about something along these lines?
I'm sorry if this is dumb, ignorant or ... offensive?
But are you ... celebrating ... this? To make sure I understand, you are talking about not breast feeding a baby any longer, right? I've never known anyone to continue breastfeeding a 2 yo!? 
But hey, to each their own! Is this a group celebration thing? Just asking cause of the reference to the hubby & his (church?) position.
Sorry if I sound like a twit, but I think I feel confused....
How about a blouse with pad locks instead of buttons.

I only mentioned his position so people would know to keep the cakes clean. It will only be them and a couple of close friends. The baby just does not want to give it up. She is almost cut off now. Yeah, we are talking about no longer breast feading her. And yes, in our weird way, we will celebrate it. I am a weird person and celebrate weird things. Sorry to confuse you.
How about a hurdler? Jumping 'milestones' like the sippy cup, potty chair or binky is next in line, then kindergarten(a bookbag or graduation cap), a phone, a boyfriend...ooooooooooooo and at the end....a wedding couple...oh my, your sister may freak and decide never to wean her! but it would be funny!

I nursed both my kiddos for 2 years. Lemme tell ya...when we weaned, heck ya I celebrated! I got my breasts back! Nothing weird about it.
Added the pic just because it's my favorite!!! SOOOO CUTE!

Lots and lots of people breastfeed their children until the age of 2, or longer. The World Health Organization promotes all babies to be fed until 2, while the AAP says 1 and from there on however long mother and baby desire. It's a completely normal thing and probably happening all around you and you don't notice it. Still nursing my 18 month old 
I think Breastruant OUT OF BUSINESS theme is a cute one!
Did any of you see the "Is there a Mrs. Waffles?" episode of two and a half men? THE FUNNIEST!!!!! Charly starts singing kids songs, and one of them is "No more boobies, no more boobies, no more boobies, cause I'm a big kid now!" I just about peed my pants!!!!
How about carving out a sippy cup?
What a great idea! This has given me inspiration to make a weaning cake for my little girl when she's ready.
I would focus on the positive aspects of this, because it's a happy occasion. I like the idea of a "game of life" type cake with stages depicted throughout.

How about a carved sippy cup and on top have a fondant cow being milked by a farmer to look like the cow's milk is filling the cup?
By the way evasmama if that works let me know, because I have a two year old who will not even hear of wearing big girl panties and using the potty.
This cake is for the mama. But I will do anything that it really cute. And yes, I do plan on doing one when she gets potty trained too. Any old excuse to make a cake. The farmer milking into the sippy cup is a hoot. I love cows.
All these combined ideas finally gave me one. Use the stand up bear pan and decorate it like a little girl. Have her look at a carton of milk with her mom's picture on it as a missing person. Not sure of verbage, but something to do with the chuck wagon is gone.
Thanks for the ideas and helping me come up with one too.

I can't wait to see this cake! Please post a pic when you finish.
i, too, think the breastaurant out of business is super cute. i had to laugh looking at it.
still breastfeeding my 30 mths old (scary, right?) )
tried to wean him off when he turned 2, but it didn't work (plus i'm soft hearted when it comes to that).
mclaren....it'll come with time. No rush. You're both ok with it so who gives a hoot what others think! (Can ya tell I am SO pro-breastfeeding?)
More power to her, nutcase...I was at an assembly once where a sister was sitting so her FIVE year old could stand and nurse!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!! I hope the WHO doesn't promote that someday somewhere!!! I'm all pro-breastfeeding, until it just ain't right!!
Please do share the cake when done, it'll be fun!!!

Well, my 1 yr old didn't want to quit, either, but he was biting, so it was REALLY time to stop. He liked me because it was SO sweet. I started putting a bit of Postum (that chocolate stuff) or Ovum (I really can't remember) into his milk bottle (homo, of course), and he never looked back. I really needed him to stop because I wanted my boobs back, and so did my DH.
Now, if you don't REALLY want to stop, then you won't, but if you want to, then this is a sure-fired way. BTW, another way is to go out of town for the night and leave baby with Dad or someone else with a bottle.
Good luck!
