Best of luck! I'm no pastry chef, but the best trick I ever learned for decorating cakes was to do a base or "crumb" coat before the final frosting. Here's a bit of an explanation on that too: www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-crumb-coat.htm
The women's weekly children's birthday cake book is worth its weight in gold. it will do every birthday for every child you have until they grow to be an adult. The best 24.95 i've ever spent!
This website looks quite good! http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/creative-cake.html Hope that helps you out a bit! There are quite a few nice number ones on there. The lady gives a short description of how she made them too. Good luck! Someone made one for my daughter's first birthday, but I wish I had made my own for her!
