Hello,

Not sure if any of these are what you want, but here are some pictures for you:

Hope these help you!

something tropical like pineapple upside-down cake. anything with coconut or dusted with “sanding” sugar. s’mores brownies (you could do a cake version if that’s what you want –chocolate cake with marshmallow creme frosting and a dusting of crushed graham crackers)

Create a bikini cake from two 8 inch round layer cakes. Bake some of the batter in two ovenproof custard cups to create breasts. Assemble the cake to resemble a woman’s torso and ice the entire thing in pale pink icing. Now using a pastry bag, pipe on a string bikini. (I added pink jujubes under the bikini for nipples too..lol) You can add as many anatomically correct details as you want. One person I know did this and used shaved chocolate for pubic hair!!!! (Just depends on the type of crowd you have to entertain I guess)

Don’t forget to make the belly button!

Have fun at the beach

This may not be what you are looking for – but when I was in highschool my dad helped me make this cake for a teacher’s birthday – the teacher loved surfing. We made a cake that looked like a wave. Just a standard butter cake / birthday cake that we cut up. You can use the icing to make it fancy and hold it together. It was a little bit like the right side of this cake – but we used fluffier icing and the wave was crashing over more…

Try this:

Get a can of regular vanilla frosting and thin it a little with some milk. Tint the icing with some blue food coloring (to resemble water). Drizzle the thinned icing over a round pound, angelfood, or bundt cake. This will serve as your base. Place this base on some blue cellophane wrap, and place broken up blue-colored rock candy around the edges. Take 2 peppermint disks and a stick of gum and ‘cement’ them to the top of the cake, near the hole in the center. This will be your ‘diving board’. Take some Teddy Grahams (regular, cinnamon, and chocolate). and cut them in half, and place them inside life savers candies (to represent people floating in inner tubes). You can also color some of the vanilla frosting red, green, yellow, etc, and dot icing on the Teddy Grahams (using a toothpick) to make ’swimsuits’. I think I saw something similar to this in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

are you looking for ideas to decorate a cake like that or to buy an actual cake already decorated like that? If you are decorating it, sounds to me like you already have a pretty good idea of what you want. Go for it. Just to make it less complicated, I would try to find little plastic people and things to decorate with. you know, one of those little drink umbrellas would be the perfect size, brown sugar makes great sand, blue gel icing for a lake or water nearby, maybe some Barbies in swimsuits and a good looking Ken checking out the action. A sheet cake would be great like that. you could cut a bit of netting from an onion bag and fashion a volleyball net with it and some swizzle sticks. Add a marble or a frosting ball for the ball itself. Ooh, lots of ideas. What a great idea. Kudos to you!

Go to the bakery and tell them what you want, go to a real bakery not the one at Wally World. Real Bakers are Artists and they like to do things like this. Ever watch Ace of Cakes they are magical.

go to flickr.com i usually search for birthday cakes and i see amazing ones but u have to look carefully
