My dd girl scout cluster is having a cake bake (cake walk) and I am not creative at all. I need some simple and cheap ideas for a cake. Know of any ideas or website that I can get some ideas off of?
Some of the categories are:
Ymmiest Looking

Best Girl Scout Theme
Best Use of candies
best animal
most colorful
best patriotic theme
best holiday theme
best winter and summer theme

1 package Thanks-A-Lot?cookies, crushed
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup milk

1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions:
Combine Thanks-A-Lot? cookies, butter and sugar in a 9x13 inch baking dish and press mixture into sides and bottom of dish. In a large bowl, combine ice cream and milk with electric mixer.

Or:

Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely.

To make frosting, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat at low speed to combine. Beat on high speed 10 seconds or until smooth. Spread about 2 tablespoons frosting on top of each cupcake. Sprinkle Cinna-Spins? crumbles on top of frosting. With orange decorating gel make zig zag carrot design in center of each cupcake. Sprinkle green colored coconut at top of each carrot. Store in refrigerator.
