BCT's of Humphery Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, etc, either on top of a cake or around the side with a fondant roll of film, once again either on top or around the cake, a pair of old-style sunglasses, some rock candy for diamonds....man, you sure could have a ton of fun with this cake! Ya gotta post pictures of whatever you come up with!

Don't forget Gable!!! Or, you know what would look cute? Fondant swimmers or dancers in a pattern like the old Busby Berkley movies!

Great ideas! I am thinking either a film reel, or make her own Hollywood Walk of Fame star with her name on it. Keep the ideas coming.... haven't made up my mind yet. You guys are awesome!

The Walk of Fame idea is perfect and the cupcakes to go with it is fabulous! You could also do Mann's Chinese Theater, you know where they put their handprints in the cement? This party theme is just awesome and so versatile!!!

On the food network's website, you can look up oscar party ideas. They had a lot of cute ideas for cakes and chocolates from Wolfgang Puck.
