Birthday Cake
Who said birthday cakes are reserved just for kids? It's easy to create an adult-themed cake that pokes fun at someone's profession, their shoe-shopping addiction or even their fear of aging. Does this Spark an idea?
Career-themed cake
Your husband has worked hard to make it to where he is today. Let him know how much you appreciate his hard work by presenting him with a birthday cake that is modeled after his profession. Is your dear husband a math professor? If so, poke fun at his age by using a mathematics equation to display his new age. If the birthday boy is celebrating his 50th birthday, use a piping bag filled with butter cream frosting to draw "100 divided by 2=50." He'll be sure to appreciate the irony.
Shopaholic cake
Does your wife have an addiction to shoe shopping? If so, get sweet revenge for those constant $300 shoe purchases by poking fun at her footwear addiction with a birthday cake. Make a basic birthday cake using her favorite cake recipe, let cool and cover in desired frosting. Next, print a picture of a shoe. Draw your shoe using a piping bag with a straight tip that is filled with butter cream frosting. To avoid mistakes, practice drawing the shoe on pieces of paper (using the piping bag) before drawing the image on to the cake itself.
Over-the-hill cake
Is your mother constantly nagging about her fear of wrinkles? If so, present her with a birthday cake that will amusingly bring her face to face with her worst fear. Because this requires great skill and intricacy, it's best that you hire a professional cake decorator to create your cake. Bring a photo of your mother to your cake decorating consultation and ask that faux wrinkles be created on her face. The cake decorator will likely use a mixture of airbrushing and icing techniques to create lifelike wrinkles onto the face.
