If this is your first time, then I suggest you bake a few ';normal'; ones first and then go with the unique ideas, because it could get complicated, I mean with the frosting , icing and all...

Or you can make a dirt cake and decorate it with flowers, gummy worms and stuff:
this is a delicious one...
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
Chop cookies very fine in food processor. The white cream will disappear.
Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in bowl.
In a large bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together.
Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together.
Layer in flower pot, starting with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers.
Chill until ready to serve.
Add artificial flower and trowel. Enjoy!
serves 10.

now i know u didnt want chocolate cake, BUT why dont u make a layer cake.. 1 layer choc and 1 vanilla (both basic recipes), with some yummy frosting in the middle and on top. then u could decorate it with ur friends fave candy or fruit..
just a suggestion.. i dont think it shouldnt be too difficult. good luck :)
ps: i always make frosting with softened butter and a bit of milk. and i always mix it together with hand beaters.
