having 7, yes 7, birthdays in January this cake was the answer to my searching for something large enough for all and still individualized for each birthday person. i made the layer cake with a 10 inch pan instead of a 9 inch pan for more servings and decorated each cupcake in the birthday persons favorite color and candy. thank you to those who suggested using toothpicks to hold it together...you probably saved a really cute cake from falling apart!
