After looking through the birthday cake books and not really choosing anything, I suggested making a number cake (the birthday girl was turning 10, which I figured was an easy number-shape to work with).
We made a chocolate cake, which she mixed up by herself - the recipe I always use is a 'put it all in the bowl and turn the mixer on' type which is really easy for kids!
The '1' got lollies put on randomly, but I suggested more of a pattern for the '0'
I let her choose a bag full of lollies from the 'pick-n-mix' at the supermarket to decorate it with and she wanted five different icing colours. She mixed the food colouring into the icing while I iced the cakes (she found it a little tricky to not mix the colours when putting it on).
She had great fun, and the birthday girl was impressed she had made it herself!
