At Sunday School, we recognize the kids' birthdays, but it seemed sort of boring without a cake and candles, so I made a pretend one. Schoolteachers could also use it in their classrooms. Or use it as a table decoration for your child's party, especially if you are serving cupcakes or cookies instead of a big cake. This idea would work for a wedding cake as well.
Approximate Time 15 minutes, plus paint drying time
*You could also use this idea to make a wedding cake for a bridal shower. Omit candles, and place plastic bride and groom on top. Decorate with white pearls-by-the-yard, etc.
Caution: don't leave this faux birthday cake unattended within the reach of small children who might be tempted to light their own candles!

You could also snip the bottoms off those little candle holders and glue them to the top then place candles in them.
