Manly Birthday Cakes...

Hs-sweetheart

Anyone have pics of manly looking birthday cakes. We have literally six birthday in november and there all guys in our family, so we have one big party for all the November guys. I'm making the cake this year and want it to be somewhat manly. I"m not into cartoons or anything like that but if you guys have some ideas that would be awesome! Thanks in advanced!

You should watch Ace of Cakes on Food Network. They come up with fantastic cakes...as for a manly cake..how about one where the icing is all camouflage?

My best advice is to search for grooms cakes on the internet and find a local baker.  Or search the local phone book.

There are some good cake pans you can use to make you life easier if you are baking it on your own...my aunt made my brothers 21st b-day cake with this pan

 it looked something like this:

The last cake I made for DS was just a round cake with chocolate frosting and polka dots.  No flowers or anything fancy looking, and it was easy to make.  But we don't go all ot with cakes here.

If they're into football, a football shaped cake is a fairly simple one to make.
