I'm making a cake for our neighborhood block & back to school party, any idea?

kids crying? teachers wailing? bus drivers sobbing? NOOOOOOO!

tombstone cake? "Here Lies the Summer of 2009"

----

seriously tho' (tho' I'm pretty serious about the comments above too!)

backpack cake?

blackboard cake w/ a welcome back message?

I was just on here the other day looking through photos for the same idea. I have decided on doing a cooler cake similar to the ones others have done on here. My 14 yr old nephew kept saying it was going to be a funeral not a party during the entire planning session. So I am making a coffin cake special for him that has "R.I.P. Summer Vacation" on the cover.

I am going to make a cartoon bus (the movie Cars will be my insperation) for my daughters first day of school (she will be in kindergarden) cake I hope to decorate the details with my son (he is not old enough for school yet) after she gets on the bus.
