I have a request for a crane bird sheetcake for a birthday. The last name of the recipient is Crane. I have been trying to come up with something creative, but sure could use some help. Thank You.

Not sure where you'd find them, but if you could find little plastic crane birds(or make some), you could make the cake look like wetlands and add the cranes.

If you want to put a picture of a crane on the cake, try searching for coloring pages crane bird, I found a few that would be easy to put on a cake.

Here's a couple I found

This one is very simple

This one would be neat, have it standing in the water, add some grass the sky, maybe a couple flying?

Go to google.com, click on "images" and type in crane. I just did it. There are several nice pictures of cranes ... along with pictures of the type of crane used in construction. Copy one of those cranes. .... or, I just thought of this while I'm typing: Do a picture of both types of crane (machinery and bird) and write something like "You are the best crane of them all!"
