Birthday cake idea help?!
Answers:
No such thing as a Nazi Swastika, maybe a Hakenkreuz.
The Swastika is used as a religious symbol by the
Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, much like the KKK
cross is used by the Christians.
Is the Swastika a German word?

The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit svastika (in Devanagari, ????????), meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark
made on persons and things to denote good luck. It is composed of su- (cognate with Greek ευ-, "eu-"), meaning "good, well" and asti a verbal abstract to the root as "to be"; svasti thus means "well-being". The suffix -ka forms a diminutive, and svastika might thus be translated literally as "little thing associated with well-being".
The swastika symbol is one of the oldest symbols on the Earth and can be found in all religions and traditions, on all continents!

# 3/8 Cup Of Rum
# 1 Tsp Of Butter
# Grated Peel Of Lemon
# 1/2 Cup Of Seedless Raisins
# 1 1/4 Cups Of Stoned And Chopped Dates
# 1 Cup Of Chopped Walnuts

Method
Heat the oven to a temperature of 300 degree Fahrenheit.
Take a bowl and mix chopped candied peel, cherries and rum together.
Leave the mixture and stir it after a short while.
Remove the fruit from the rum after thirty minutes and keep the rum for later use.
Try to immerse the fruits in the rum for a longer period of time, as it will help to make a delicious fruit cake.
Now mix all the fruits along with nuts and then add flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Make sure that all the fruits are covered with the flour mixture.
Beat the eggs and now add it to the dry ingredients and mix it well.
Empty the mixture into the cake tin and bake it for a period of two hours.
After the cake is cooked spread rum over it and let it cool.
You can have the cake along with a cup of tea or coffee.
all little kids like vanilla and chocolate... especially the confetti cake, which if you dont buy the mix you can just make by adding sprinkles to your batter! I would go for a more simplistic design because he really wont remember all your hard work he will just want to stick his hand in the cake and eat/destroy it! Maybe when he is older! Good luck!
seriously this can't be a real question.... a swastika?
How about a train cake, or a fire truck cake that's what most 3yr olds like... if you are even a real parent at all!

Have you bumped your head? I agree with the firetruck cake or a cartoon character cake or even an ice cream cake.
