Get the kids to rehearse for a song plus dance. Add in one or two solo items on the piano or some other instrument, or just a solo song or duet here and there or maybe just play some music and perform the dance.
1 hour before, get everyone dressed in either real fancy outfits or costumes for a family photo and do up a really good backdrop for that amazing photoshoot. Worse come to worse, make it a green screen and good lighting
About the cake, I advise buying 8 good chocolate mudcakes and spending 2 hours to decorate them. Because it will take about 4 hours for the icing to firm up on the cake before you place fondant on it or buttercream icing. Or any other icing. So no time to bake because it will be hot and you need to wait an hour for it to cool down before you can place the base layer of icing.
Here is a home-bake hack: use a small cake mold or circular tool to cut out a small cake in the middle of the large cake so you get two cakes, if that makes sense. Put something inside the cavity of the cake like M&M's or his favourite snack like three Forero Rochers or a small present like a ring or a $100 note or giftcard or something.
Another bake hack: when you buy cakes to stack up, if you want a tall looking cake like you see on Instagram, one of those will be a combination of 2 normal cakes to get the height of one tier in a tiered combination OR 3 cakes if it's a tower cake like you see on Insta.
And the last bake at home hack: if you're baking at home, always add a teaspoon of gelatin so it comes out moist and not dry. If you're choosing to do a chocolate cake mix, add in a packet of chocolate chips.
