I think the Rubik's Cube and Cassette tape idea is great!
You could also do Pac Man, joysticks, some of the School House Rock stuff (how a bill becomes a law, etc.), pink houses (John Cougar), Ray Ban sunglasses, Michael Jackson's glove, etc. |

Michael Jackson's glove......now that brings back memories lol That was the only birthday cake I remember as a kid......my mom made a cake in a pyrex lasagna pan (left it in there too lol) and frosted it pink, (grocery store icing.mmm...lol) and traced her own hand and then filled it in with silver dragees!! I think I ate the entire glove myself (so much for those things being poisonous!! Oh wait...maybe that's what's wrong with me???? hahaha) |

I love the rubiks cube idea! I loved my Vans in the 80's oh and my Top Siders! Oh Mtv started then! Could you do some version of the tv on a cookie with an antenna on top? Oh I just went back in time.. that's when Mtv was the best!! Great, now I want to watch Pretty in Pink!

Since you're not selling them, you could make 80's cartoon character cookies.  Fraggle Rock, Heman, She-ra (sp?), Smurfs, Popples, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, ThunderCats, Snorks, etc.  Don't forget the flourescent colored shoe strings on the high tops and roller skates  OH!! I almost forgot Jem! 
As for the parachute pants, I had some too... lol. They were black/white checkered. |

Pop rocks were new then, even if they are still around. Maybe used them on top of the cookies? |
