Is my idea for a cake too girly for a 24 yr old guy? im using a 39 count cupcake tower, + using green frosting

Question

he asked for a GI Joe Birthday cake even though he's 24... but I don't feel like I could make one. I do however have an awesome cupcake stand that holds 39 cupcakes... and I know how to do that swirly professional looking technique to frost the cupcakes. Do you think it will look really girly with the cup cakes and the tower, even if I only use green and chocolate (brown) frostine? The tower itself is very pretty and girly I have to admit... but can I get away with this?

Here's a pick of the tower. http://kidoinfo.com/ri/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/cupcake-tower.jpg

Answer 1

Who cares what it looks like as long as it is good.

Answer 2

Boy, that looks delicious.....

No, I think he'll be fine. He's lucky he's got someone to make him anything, especially something that looks that good! He's a guy. Food=good. I don't think he'll mind at all.

Answer 3

I think it would be fine, especially in green and chocolate, maybe you could find GI Joe plates and napkins to tie it all together :)

Answer 4

I'd write G.I. Joe on all of the cupcakes.  OR be even more creative and write names of the characters from G.I. Joe on the cupcakes.

I think it would be fine.  Plus, he can have as many cupcakes as he wants!  It's his birthday!

Answer 5

Hey, if he's asking for a GI Joe birthday cake at age 24, I'm preeeetty sure he won't mind a cupcake tower either :P Especially if it's not the pink one in the picture, but a green/chocolate one ^^

Answer 6

pick up a bag of those little army guy toy figurines from the dollar store and stick one on each green cupcake!

Answer 7

How about camo cupcakes?  Just make your cupcakes and then pipe swirls of camo colors on top and put a GI Joe figure on the top cupcake- he'll love it.
