How 'bout some cakes?

Since my son's birthday is fast approaching, I'm thinking it might be time to break out the cupcake pan.

These would probably work if he were turning 5.

Perhaps these, if he were 18 and feeling a little revengeful?

He is a huge carnivore. Or maybe too confusing?

Who wouldn't want a Gromitcake?

But I'm thinking, as much as I enjoy spending time in the kitchen creating and producing, I've never been very talented with the whole frosting-baking-sugar-fantastic world.

'Fraid my cakes are prolly gonna come out like these:
