Birthday cake

[Melalvai]

Last year's cake for my daughter's 12th birthday had some issues...it fell apart. So I stuck a dinosaur in it and it looked really cool.


This year, she said "I want a cake just like last year, only with Death coming out of it instead of a monster."

No, I am not asking what is wrong with her...I already know that. She is almost 13.

I want some easy suggestions. I looked in a party store and strangely enough could not find a Grim Reaper cake decoration. Also the cake will not fall apart this time. However does anyone have any suggestions that might fit the theme?

What about black icing?

Perhaps items from The Nightmare Before Christmas?? Beetlejuice?

Cool cake idea & I hope it all goes well!

Love that cake, great creativity! I probably would have cried and stressed and stayed up baking another one, which would have ben very conventional and not at all fun. You did a great job. I can't think of any ideas about the Death request...typical me.

ok so I'm a little dizzy this morning, but this photo first thing after my coffee had me in stitches... I love the look of that dinosaur raging out of the cake

I LOVE the cake! Just had to show DH b/c he couldn't understand why I was laughing so hard!

I love the Beetlejuice idea. Or... what about Nightmare on Elm street guy?

Here's a great freaky grim reaper doll on Ebay! Yike!!

Or Freddy Krueger vs. Jason stuff

Spend a little time on ebay ... you're bound to find something terribly frightening and fairly cheap!
Whatever you do, show us a picture!
How about raspberry filling that flows out like blood?
Oh.. this could be fun. And to think that I only got a "barbie doll" cake when I was young!

OK... couldn't resist this one! SMURF GRIM REAPER!!!! Who knew?

No, I am not asking what is wrong with her...I already know that. She is almost 13.

Oh, it gets worse...

Remember, the most effective punishment I've found is taking her bedroom door off the hinges. Privacy is a privilege, not a right

Sorry for going off topic

Very nice! but it would have been better if you had buried a Barbie and had gummy worms coming out of the grave

I got gummy worms, but they were so huge I thought they'd overwhelm the cake. I seriously considered incorporating a Barbie into it...
