Dd is 2 soon and I really want to make her a nice birthday cake. I can make cakes, basic non iced cakes but I want something better than that. I've been looking at cake tins on eBay and while I'm confident I could do the cake shape, how do I ice it? Or is there something else I can do that is good without too much icing? I've got to do 2, one for kindy which I'm thinking cupcakes and 1 for the family and I'm thinking a proper cake. Pressure as the family cooks will all be there and they'd happily make it for me but I really want to do it myself.

Would love some guidance if you have any please
