Well first, why the restriction on eggs? Is she allergic? You're going to be
hard pressed to find a cake recipe with no eggs, I'm afraid.
If she's not allergic, I would make a simple cake, white, yellow or
chocolate, and maybe do a carousel (tiered layers decorated with bright
colors, and you can either make animals from icing or use animal crackers).
At her age, characters won't matter as much as bright colors.
