You can buy "decorating sugar". It is colored or evn plain white I believe. The ribbon idea is great and won't take a lot of decorating skill. Do the ribbon with a little accent of decorating, you can buy the frosting tubes at the grocery store or get a kit, or do it out of a plastic bag, but I would do the ribbon idea then trace with a toothpick Happy Birthday MOm or something (this is so you can see what you are putting down before you put it on the cake) then trace with your icing, and sprinkle with the decoraters sugar to make the letters sparkly.

Lots of pics int he gallery to give you inspiration.
Take a plastic bag and put icing in it, cut a small hole in the end,apply icing in anyway you want.I don't know how to make it sparkly.
Me and my best friend (hes like a bother, and calls my mom his mom also) got together and made mom a heart cake. We used a round cake pan and cut a V shape at the top to make the two lumpy things at the top of the heart.
We then frosted with vanilla frosting and put pink (strawberry) frosting around the edges and wrote her name in pink.
Also, where the best friend has a littler sister, she was feeling left out of the cake decorating, so we made cupcakes. And but each individual letter of HAPPY BIRTHDAY on them. The left over one, we let the baby sister go to town on with the frosting. It was really cute, and mom thought it was very sweet.
However, if you want more "professional looking" I suggest the following site:

Good Luck and Happy birthday to her!
You either have to buy a cake decorating kit fill the the thingy with with the icing u want and decorate away or put icing in a bag cut of the tip and decorate the cake or you could go to Wal Mart and buy one thats already decorated like a NORMAL PERSON...(witch obisouly isn't you) DAAAAAAA!!!!!!! :^(
One would be to get those sugar letters inthe grocery store, 2 get those icing kits from party supply stores, 3 get the gel icing and attempt to do it yourself, And 4 ask for some assistance from a friend and do it together. I alot fo the time use those cake pans in character forms, I hardly ever free form a cake. One I dont have alot of time with little ones running around and 2 Im not that talented at baking..lol
I box of cake mix in Mom's favorite flavor. Two cans of frosting. Go to a craft store and buy ribbon ( wide for borders , thinner for accents) you'll use this for the border = no fancy decorating skills needed. get a bunch of pretty fresh flowers from the supermarket. After the cake is cooked according to instructions on the box. Completely cool it, freeze it for an hour. Take some of your frosting and frost the cake with a thin layer of frosting to get the crumbs stuck to the cake. This is called crumb coating. Freeze it again for half an hour and frost the cake. Place the ribbon border on the cake. Put blobs of frosting on the top of the cake to place the flowers into. Some flowers might have sap that annoys people so discard the frosting blobs before serving them to your guests.
