It's my daughters birthday this weekend and I'd like to make her a cool cake. She loves all things to do with vampires, like most teenage girls atm! ! Vampire Diaries, True Blood & Twilight are her thing! ! Any ideas for a cake. I'm not a bad cake decorator, but I have no inspiration or imagination! ! ! ! !
Cover the cake with slime, blood red slime, jelly snakes and spider webbing on one corner... ... . .

If you also Google "twilight" decorated cakes, there are some great ideas.

thanks guys - no I'm nowhere near a professional ali - I'm just not bad at copying! ! ! I made everything on the cake - the only thing that wasn't edible was the cocktail sticks I needed to keep the chess pieces from flopping over while the icing hardened up. My mum in Scotland does cakes though and told me that I could have used spaghetti, so I'll remember that for next time. She also said I should have covered the silver board with icing to make it look more 'finished' ! ! My daughter loved it :)
