Answer 1

Not sure what your budget is, but I recently saw an episode of "Ace of Cakes" that featured a goth-punkrock sweet sixteen cake.  The name of the bakery, however, is Charm City Cakes and they do have a website.  They don't usually go outside of a 50 mile radius to set up unless you pay a lot extra.  Cakes start at about $500.00.  If that doesn't fit in with your budget, here are some other ideas:

1.  See if there is a culinary school nearby that has a pastry chef program.  Some of them have clubs for their students that provide services to non-students.

2.  Go to your favorite bakery and take detailed sketches, color swatches, etc. and sit down with a designer to create your special confection.

3.  Create your own cakes.  Bakery supply stores carry a variety of cake stands that include having separate tiers.  Make each tier with a different part of your theme.  You can also find frosting colors and enhancements there to color your frosting etc. the way you want it.

Good luck!

Answer 3

if you are having a bakery make the cake they will make it whatever way you want- just tell them the theme and colors and stuff and they will have great ideas for your cake.

you can do it in purple and have black music notes on it?

Answer 4

try food network they may have some ideas for you

Answer 5

I suggest to have a special 3 layer cake and then some sheet cakes that can be displayed on either side of the 3 layer cake (in the center).  You can have one main theme on the center cake and that theme carried over on the other two sheet cakes.  A large sheet cake makes a rather nice, large canvas.  

Some grocery stores have the ability to 'print' on an edible thingy whatever you want (from a pix of maybe even from a data file).   While this ability is very cool, I wonder if the cake tastes any good.  Be careful w/this one.

HTH.

Answer 6

i would say get two cakes one that you like to have with close family members and freinds that are close and then get alarge sheet cake or enoungh sheet cake for that many people

Answer 7

Make a large cake in the shape of a star.

It can be done as a large sheet cake, unless you want it to be high. Often a sheet cake will be cheaper than a tiered cake.

Frost it, and then do the edible spray paint in pinks/purples.

Writing in black icing.

You can write on the sides of the cake "punk rock princess", etc.

Answer 8

food network may have a few ideas.

or you can try the place called Ace Of Cakes.

you can just call them, tell them exactly what you want your cake to look like, and they will make it.

they have made some pretty amazing cakes before.
