umm...maybe a chocolate cake w/ m&m's and oreo bits...kids love sweet chocolate!!!
this is the 7 oz semisweet chocolate
1 stick butter or margarine
2/3 c sugar, divided
6 eggs, separated
3/4 c (4 oz) blanched almonds,1/2 cup brown rice flour or garbanzo/fava bean flour*
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch)
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk or non-dairy liquid
1/2 cup butter or margarine (softened, not melted) or 1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
3/4 cup warm (110º) coffee or water
Preheat oven to 350º. Generously grease 9 x 9-inch round or square nonstick pan or 11 x 7-inch nonstick pan. Set aside.
Place all ingredients, except hot water or coffee, in large bowl and blend with electric mixer. Add hot water or coffee and mix until thoroughly blended. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick placed in center of cake comes out clean. Serves 12.
or:
In the top of a double broiler, melt the chocolate over hot water. In a medium-sized bowl, cream the butter or margarine with 1/3 cup of sugar. Add the egg yolks and beat at high speed until very light. Add the melted chocolate and almonds. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites stiff with remaining 1/3 cup of sugar. With a rubber spatula, fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the batter. Pour the remaining batter into an nongreased 8-inch spring-form pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. When cool, run a knife around the edge and remove the frame. Pour the reserved uncooked batter over the top of the cake and chill. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Serves 6 to 8

I would do a big snake in a s shape. You've got 3 kids, so for the icing; part it in 3 colours and one part represents each child. Just pick what flavour cake to make. The decorating is easy. It'll be easy if you make it yourself, I've done it before, it's fun and the children should love it.

A marble cake may be your best bet. As for a design, how about SpongeBob or Mickey/Minnie Mouse?
