Hi all,

I've just been asked to make a cake that is has a mixed holiday theme. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Reason for this crazy request you ask? Well, my office wil be laid off in mid Oct. and we are throwing a last big horrah and they asked me to make a cake w/ all the different holidays wishing everyone "Good Luck".

I would be making a sheet cake as it will be easier to carry to work on the train and so forth.

Could anyone provide some ideas about how to pull this all together?? I am stumped.

Thanks in advance!!

Considering we don't *do* Thanksgiving over here - and Halloween is a tad popular -

What about a cake in Christmas colours - with accents deplicting Halloween and TG..

Sorry, thats all i can think of -
Plus i wanted to *bump* this up for you.

'Hallankmas', mmm could be interesting to see what others come with. I am thinking but not much is happening...lol....seriously though

What about a cake decorated with fall colors (icing and border) and snowflake and black cat decorations?

or blue with white snowflakes and a candycorn and fall leaf border...

veronica720 - I know hehe- this is very challenging LOL . Since we will not be celebrating the holidays as we normally would they wanted to throw them all together. ARG!!

Great ideas so far!! Please keep'em coming, no matter how bazzar you may think. Anything will help.

Thanks

How 'bout "The Nightmare Before Christmas"? Jack Skellington, etc. I'm not sure how to tie Thanksgiving in, but Halloween and Christmas would be covered!

It also seems morbidly fitting, considering the occasion...

Bypass all those holidays and go straight for New Year's Eve ... Father Time and the New Year's baby - representing the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.
Good luck to all in finding new employment opportunities!!

Thanks guys!! Theses are some great ideas!! Personally, I am looking forward to my next chapter, cause now I can spend more time on my cakes!!

I was thinking of a square cake and make it look like a picture cube- have a holiday them on each of the sides and do something funky fun for the top (combine all holidays). For the 4th side you could do New Years if you wanted. Good luck!

Oh I really like the cube thing, that would be so cool. Maybe just being a square wouldn't make it to much of a pain to carry on the train.
