9. Polar Bear Iceberg Birthday Cake – I made this polar bear iceberg sledding cake for my son’s birthday. This cake only cost me about $17.00 ($3.00 for 2 cake mixes, $4.00 for the ornaments, $4.00 for the jelly roll cake, and about $4.00 for the frosting. The relighting candles cost $2.00 and I had the sprinkles and food coloring already).

I was planning a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Party for my one year old's first birthday. My decor called for color. So, I decided that since you can sometimes see a few bright stars at sunset, I would make two Twinkle Twinkle Little Star "Sunset Cake". They were very simple to make and turned out quite cute.

15. Mermaid Cake – This mermaid cake was made of one Funfetti box mix cake in two 8 inch round pans or one 8-10 inch round springform pan and baked slightly longer. I used a springform pan for the whole cake mix.
