Here's the deal, mom of bday girl is a friend. Asked if I could do a Hannah Montana themed cake.

Said she definitely wanted the logo and b-day girl's name. Check.

Didn't want "Happy Birthday" because she's getting a sign to put above bday cake table (she's doing 1 party for all three DD's). Check.

So, here's where I'm kind of hittin' a brick wall:

Mom wants Hannah's wig and microphone on the cake too...did I mention this is only a 6"? I know it'll be too busy if I put that on there.

Since mom is only paying for ingredients, I can do whatever I want (whether or not she knows that is a non-issue). So I'm standing back looking at it and trying to figure out which I should add. I was thinking maybe a microphone a little taller than the name in the background (on a slant) and maybe a star border on the bottom, but will that be too busy as well?

Suggestions are greatly appreciated and NEEDED!! This is for Saturday.

I'd put a microphone maybe on the board at the bottom of the cake. Can you put some stars on wires on the top?

I agree...if you lay a microphone down on the right side of the cake with the top of the mic towards the logo, I think that'd finish it well. And I like the idea of stars out the top on wires as well...good thoughts.

I agree with Patti on her suggestions - even if it is edible, a wig would be a bit strange and would definitley crowd the cake. Mic and stars all the way!

I agree- microphone on the bottom on the board.
You can also consider music notes instead of stars...just a suggestion

Good Luck! The cake looks awesome already...

Ok, question regarding the mic idea. Put it to the right or going up and "behind" the logo? I hope the question makes sense.

Would music notes and stars be too much?

i think the microphone behind the logo would be cool and yes I think stars and music notes would make it too busy - but that's just me

I don't think the wig and mic are needed. I think the musical notes and stars would be CUTE!! Wig sounds really gross, picture the guests mouth wide open, tongue out, pinching all in their mouths trying to find the hair they are eating, while gagging. If you do a mic, just laying it on top of the cake or on the board would be cute. NO WIG!! GAG!!
And DH sttanding right behind me agrees on everything!

Not a real wig silly! LOL! (thanks for making me laugh).

I was going to use a clay gun to make teeny-tiny ropes and make a wig out of fondant. BUT! Just thinking about that and the fact that have to do her other 2 DD's cakes is making it easier to leave it out (I was going to anyway). So I'm going with the microphone in the background of the Hannah Montana logo and stars with gold luster dust (and maybe some disco dust) shooting out of the top (don't have music note cutters, and I ain't about to make 'em).

So no borders?

I think even a fake wig would be dumb, and maybe you could pull it off okay, but we are talking about a tiny cake! Knowing when to quit is an artform that is under rated. Just filling things with stuff makes even the most well made things look messy!
Definately not a shell border, maybe beads? I personally don't think it needs one, but someone else might think of something fabulous! (Sorry, I'm not super creative, but I can sure copy off people!)

I say if the mom wants a wig on it, put a wig on it. She's the customer.

I personally wouldn't change a thing because I love it that way. If she wan't a microphone, maybe you can put a small one infront--although it would block the name.

Gonna post photos if anyone's interested in my pics. I don't feel like resizing them. I just got back from the party. They (mom and BDay girl) loved it!
Thank you ALL so much for your tips, I couldn't have done it without you...I'm exhausted, going to bed!
