I am looking for ideas and hopefully some examples of a cheerleading themed cake. I have not decided if I want dimensional or not, and would like to incorporate pom poms (of course) and maybe a megaphone. Can anyone out there help or at least point me in the right direction? Thank you! I have until mid August, so no rush.

Here is an abstract that I found on Joanndesigns.com where they have patterns and designs for embroidery. Lots of good design ideas here!

Here are a few from google images, not much under cakes though!

I saw a cheerleading cake in the 2005 Wilton yearbook. They used fondant cutters to make the cheerleaders ans pull-out poms poms with star tip 16. I will see is I can scan the picture...however, I am moving in a week and I think I might have packed that book! My other suggestion would be to find a cheerleader clipart and have an edible image made.

You could also use the mini wonder ball pan (or cupcakes for that matter) and pull out grass tip to make a set of pom poms and a cut out megaphone from fondant.

I did a cheerleader cake last month. I found these little cheerleaders and mega phones at Michaels. They are plastic, so the person could keep them. They were really pleased with the cake. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

Here is a picture I found online. You could replace the football with a megaphone.
