I love the monogrammed cake toppers I've seen for weddings & plan on translating that into a birthday one.  Perhaps I'll put purple glitter on it!

Here's some inspiration:

I love the crystals glued on.  Like I said, I'd do it in purple :)

oooooooh..what if I make cupcakes?
I love their DIY wedding contest from a while ago.  Gives me some ideas for my graduation announcements.  Check out a marbling tutorial here
I suggest bookmarking this page & referring to it often! Such great ideas!

What if I made a little cake to put on top of my cake! So cute!

What if I used a doily some how??

How about bunting? I love the ribbon too.
