Re: Birthday Cake Experiment -- that actually worked!!
Okay, as promised, here are pics of previous bear-themed cakes.
The first bear cake was from 2012, that one is the one that's just a bear in icing on a normal chocolate cake.
The 2013 bear cake I went a bit more all-out and attempted to build a 3D bear. It mostly worked... enough that the sentiment was appreciated, haha. I have not included the 2014 bear cake as I made Husband's mum's banana cake that she always makes for his birthday, then I used sliced bananas to make a bear outline on top of the cake, however my icing was way too thin and the bananas ended up mostly slipping off, so it ended up being a botox-bear cake as I had to put in about 20 toothpicks to hold the bananas in place, haha. Not bothering to include that one.

I thought the bear's eyes were glowing on the third picture. Some sort of demon bear?

Demon bear will be an interesting challenge. Perhaps Husband gets that as next year's birthday cake.

Re: Birthday Cake Experiment -- that actually worked!!
The Bears look really great. Bananas on a cake would be rather tricky as they're slippy suckers, royal icing should do it though for future ref!
I'm looking forward to demon cake in March 2016..........
