Skyfall theme Birthday... cake ideas?

Mado

Hiya,

My son is going to see Skyfall with his mates for his birthday.
I always make the birthday cakes myself, and try as much as I can to relate to the occasion.
I am a little stumped with this one...:think:

Any idea for a reasonably simple cake design?

Why not make a gun shape, or just 007?

Somehow I feel the gun is wrong for a 13 yo birthday...I know I'm taking them to see plenty of gun action...:rotfl:

What about 007 - Skyfall done in Black icing? It would look quite effective and print a ribbon banner to wrap around the cake this way you can have anything on it you want.

Or a tux- that would just be black and white icing? Something like this:

I like that...:j:j:j

Although it looks a tad tricky to do in my usual butter icing. If I could combine it with ready rolled fondant icing, it could work.

ohh a DB5,, such a sexy car, would make a great cake.. lol

or try to get a model one to put on the side..

or... some supermarkets do the printed icing thing. you can take an image in of the skyfall logo and have it printed onto the icing..

Edit, i like the james bond one on this page, really effective.

That would be dead easy to do on a white cake and really effective.

The stag was the symbol on the gate post of Skyfall house, so this might work:

As Skyfall is a Scottish estate ,why not a house, the sort you imagine old Scottish type to be ,not Downton Abbey.
