Has anyone ever made birthday cakes for friends family etc

yeah i'm a dab hand at it .. makes it so much more personal

Wot type of cakes do u make coz i have so far made three different birthday cake which looked a lot better than ones brought from the supermarkets.
So far i have made a:
number one shaped cake- for a friend's son's first birthday.
scooby doo cake- for my next door neighbour's seventh birthday.
fooball cake- for my best mate's girlfrind's eightenth birthday coz she is football mad.
The next cake i am going to make is for my son's second birthday although hav not fully decided on the design yet any ideas ?

Just keeping with a theme - a number 2?

Or Thonas the tank engine?

I should have read classc87's cake list better, thought the number 1 cake was for her son's first birthday - so number 2 for his second, 3 for his 3rd.....

Just an idea. Mind he might not be so fond of themwhen he is about 15 or 16.

must be being a mum as well as my toilet humour, sorry but a number 2 to the little'uns is um..... a bit toilet like

lol
I was trying desperatly to keep things clean!

I don't know what I'm doing on a site about cakes!!

Okay yes I do, I'll 'fess up... I DON'T KNOW TO BAKE A CAKE, I,VE NEVER BAKED A CAKE IN MY LIFE, OOH GOD, AHHHH!!!

Go on drop an nice and easy recipe, maybe something easy like chocolate rice crispy or something like that.

Who knows I may end up a 7th Dan Nija cake baker par exellance this time next year...

Letmein, here's how you do it. Go to the supermarket and buy flour, chocolate bars, margerine, sugar, and eggs.

By the way, this is real cooking here.

Now on the way home eat the chocolate and at home fry the eggs and put between 2 slices of bread with the margerine on. The sugar is for a cup of tea. Now realise you've eaten all the stuff and go and buy a cake!

A real recipe would take too long and I would have to ask a friend too.

Cheers for the laugh. Funny but true!!

One of my fav cakes my mum made me as a child was like a magic castle type thing i think she baked lots of thin cakes rolled em up covered them in icing then stood em on end for the turrets.....chocolate fingers ontop for the roof...sweeties for jewels....plastic princess LOL musta been about 15 years ago now an i still remember!!!! Yay for mums with the personal touch!!
