I have done some really fun cakes for my kids, but with life getting busier by the moment (full time honors student in college, 3 kids, work part time) I am in need of some inspiration. I am just overwhelmed and uninspired. My daughters birthday is coming up, the big FIVE! She loves all things girly but we have done the princess thing (her first birthday cake is my profile picture), we have done the giant cupcake cake, etc. Her favourite color is pink and she loves sparkley things but I would like some ideas that are a little out of the box. I am moderately skilled with fondant, gumpaste and buttercream so I am open to all mediums. So perhaps in your internet travels you saw something that just screamed "little girl!" or maybe a cake that you made yourself that you are particularly fond of? I would love some ideas to get the ball rolling. I spend a lot of my study breaks in the galleries her and have amassed a good collection of cakes but nothing has jumped out at me yet as THE ONE.
My boys are older and they know months in advance as to what they want (elder wants a military scene, complete with tank, the other boy wants a WORKING "gold" sluice. I might need some technical help with that one
), the little girl has a harder time pin pointing what she likes best 
So any tips, pictures, or suggestions would be awesome! Happy Baking! Thank you!
