30th Birthday cake ideas?

Looking for ideas as to what to put on a cake (sheet) for my sister who will be 30. She does not like flowers and frilly stuff. This will not be a dirty cake. She will be surprised. Do not want black icing. Will have the words on there as far who it is for and from. What other simple designs and colors would look great?

How about having crushed graham crackers and oreos mixed spread around the edges and a little tossed in the middle with the words "Older than Dirt"?





Or how about the words "It's all fun and games until it happens to you"?





I don't know if I'd put "Happy 30th Mary from your friends" (this is just an example: don't know what sis' name is) on it without adding a bit of pokey humor. Everyone knows that turning 30 is a huge milestone and it's fun to make fun.





Any color would be cool - pick her 2 favorite colors and have them just do balloons in those colors in each corner of the cake.





Happy birthday to your sis!
Reply:If you can locate a really cute photo of her from when she was little, you could have Albertsons (or whoever) put the image on the cake and something like look how you've grown or something about how she still looks so young. They can do up to 8 1/2" x 11" per photo. I have even combined several to make a collage.





I found a photo of my best friends party when she was about 4 and they had a cake shaped like a frog (green and everything). We had the bakery recreate the same cake and used the photo for the invitations. That was a big hit.





Good luck!
Reply:How about you take a phtot of her(if you have one) and have them put it on the cake.It'll look nice.
Reply:Incorporate one of her hobbies. Does she like the tropics? Make a beach using graham cracker crumbs and blue icing for waves. Shopping? Use icing to make it look like a shoebox with a particular brand logo, like Manolo Blahnik which you can find on the internet.





The possibilities are endless. You can use candies for embellishment if you aren't much for fancy frosting work.
