This cake is a great idea for any winter holiday party and it is very easy to make. This particular cake was made for my sister's birthday (she loves flamingos). A few years later I made a similar cake for a Christmas party (click here to see the guide). It is basically a square cake covered in fondant and topped with a gumpaste bow. Here are some tutorials to help you while you wait for my Christmas Present Cake Guide.

My next gift recommendation is the popular Zhu Zhu pet. Every year there is one item that kids go crazy for and this year it is the Zhu Zhu pet. I'm not sure I understand why. To me they look like rats but if the kids want them, they can have them. Zhu Zhu pets have all kinds of accessories like a hampstermobile, garage, blanket and tunnels.

As far as turning this into cake...it looks like a football with fur. Follow my instructions for making a football cake. Then, instead of icing it smooth, use a grass tip to give the appearance of fur.
