Did anyone have a Little Einsteins themed party?
What did you do for the cake? There are no LE cake decorations out there, and I've only seen those edible toppers on Ebay. I'm not at all crafty, so me making a cake is out.
Any suggestions?
TIA!

Yes, someone on here did a cake like this. I did a variation on the cake for DD's b-day, that's why I know.

How about creating those edible photo using your image on top of the cake?
Bakeries can usually do that, right?
Here's a website where you can apparently order it online:

You can make an einstein cake with a cake, two twinkies and red frosting. It doens't look to hard.
Or do an edible image at a bakery. Carvel and stop and shop do them too.

Rocket Ship Cake
You'll need: A standard cake mix, equally divided into a round baking pan and a dome shaped pan from a craft store or use a 2-1/2 quart oven proof glass baking bowl. Two snack cakes "twinkies" Red and blue food color paste white frosting 2 large yellow gumdrops or NECCO candies red decorating tube or decorator bag with a piping tip
Bake, cool and remove the cakes from the pans. Mix the red color paste with white frosting to achieve a vibrant red. Mix a small portion of the blue paste to achieve the blue for Rocket's windows.
Frost the round cake with red. Place the dome on top and slightly towards one edge leaving room for the headlights. Frost the dome with red, leaving space for the window. Frost the window with blue frosting and then outline it with red piping. Cover the Twinkies with red frosting and place on the sides of the rocket. Add the yellow gumdrop or NECCO candy headlights.
TIP: Place the cake on an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet or sheet of cardboard and then frost.

Thanks ladies, I ended up ordering an image from Ebay today. I hope it gets here in time to give to the bakery.
Michelle - thanks for the recipe, but I would totally screw that up. If you've got some free time, I'll pick it up Sat at noon.

It really is not that hard to do, I swear, my sil made it for her son last year and she is bad in the kitchen.
Hope the image comes quickly.

Oh duh, sorry I read too quickly (and have no clue who Little Einsteins are) Glad you found something though.
