All Las Vegas Cakes

Oh, the teenage years! Those wonderful years when she doesn't even want people to know you're her parents, when out in public; when she rolls her eyes at every comment you make; when all she wants to listen to is that horrible stuff that she calls "music"! The good news is that "this too, shall pass", though it may seem an eternity! In any case, she can hardly find fault with this smashing birthday design! It might even be enough to make her think you're "cool", again. One tier in bright turquoise, the other in a white base with broad vertical stripes in acid green, both tiers are encircled at the base with a black satin ribbon, overlaid with a ribbon of glittering crystal. A large bow of extra wide black satin "ribbon" is placed in a prominent position, and also embellished with some sparkling crystal. A mix of fanciful black plumes and silver sequins explodes from the top of the cake in dramatic fashion, and the large silver "13th" proclaims the reason for the celebration to the world. "Uh-Oh - Now, She's a Teenager!" should garner you some serious bonus points for style, and perhaps ease this transition for both of you!
