Once our older son hit his teenage years it seems like it has been a lot harder to find a cake "theme" for his birthday. So for the first few years I left them plain. Then last year I decided to start making cakes of things that he likes or things he enjoys doing. Of course, most of those things are electronic gadgets of some variety.
Last year I made him an Ipod Shuffle Cake because he loves his.
This year I decided to make him a Wii Remote.
I think I could have done a better job but I threw this together rather quickly. I cut the edges off of a 9 x 13 cake then cut the cake in half lengthwise. I frosted and stacked them and then covered the cake with white marshmallow fondant. I made my own. It is so much easier to make than people realize. Then I cut all the buttons out of fondant, attached them, and wrote on it with edible marker.
We didn't have a big get together for him. He just had a few friends over for pizza and cake but the party and the cake were a big hit with him.

I was wondering if you were going to post the cake (or whatever you did).
I LOVE it! I am making Hunter bowling ball cake, stacking the cakes and cutting them...we will see how it goes.

Homemade cakes give better memories! When he's grown, he'll still be talking about that wii remote cake his mom made and how it was SOOO cool!
