Ideas for 60 birthday cake

[Octobermommy]

Any ideas for my moms 60th birthday cake. She doesn't have a favorite hobby but I don't want to go all morbid with a coffin shaped cake. She loves purple.

Thanks!

Would she be averse to a slightly classier red hat theme? My mom hit 50 and suddenly she's all about the red hat pride sans joining an actual club (but just wait until she finds one!).

If not that, then something with irises?

Something like this perhaps?

find a picture of her as a teenager and put it on the cake
most grocery stores will do this - turns out really cute -
