Disco Ball Cake - yes!

When you're throwing a party, and there's going to be cake, might as well go all out! Why not? The cake should be as unbelievable, as the party itself. Besides, it's usually the main event. Take weddings for example. We'd love to say that the dancing, the music, the decorations are what we remember from the reception, but it's not! It's the cake! I still remember to this day the wedding receptions that had a great cake, as for the others - well, there must have been a cake. Here's a few ideas on making a party awesome, just by the Right Cake.

1) A 70's party is not a 70's party without a disco ball cake.

2) A fabulous fifty birthday party.

Make the "5" and the "O" out of cake, in the person's favorite color.

3) A big loader operator's birthday - yes, an adult.

Bake a chocolate cake, and then cut it into an L shaped fashion. Take a fork and rip up the sides, and buy a little "tonka" loader. Leave the crumbs all over like a work site. Drive the loader over the crumbs and you have tracks, and then push the loader into the cake. Guys are adults, but we never tire of playing with trucks.

4) A luau Party

Find a copy of what the Big Islands of Hawaii look like. Cut 9" rounds into the various shapes of the islands, and put them on blue paper. Add boats and surfers to decorate.

5) An Easter Party

Though many will see this as bad taste - I saw it at an Easter Party and I have to put it in here. Bake a sheet of yellow cake filled with red jelly or red filling. Either place a picture of Jesus on the cake, or cut out and decorate a piece the cake in the image of Jesus. Then, dig in!

Happy partying!!!
