help please! numtum cake

I’m looking to make a numtum cake for my son’s 3rd birthday. I’m looking for some tips on how to make this cake. I’ve never carved a cake and have only used fondant once. I love a challenge!
I just don’t know where to start. How many cakes to bake?.. What size and shape? What type of fondant to use? I was thinking of making a marshmallow fondant.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

that does look like a challenge!
Sorry — I’m of NO help to you but wish you luck.
Hopefully someone, here, will be able to give you some advice.

I have never made a carved cake, so I can’t help you there. I can help you with an amazing fondant recipe. It is easy to make, tastes great,and is so wonderful to work with. Here is a link to the recipe. It is all I ever use!

Elizabeth Miles just posted a tutorial on how she made a carved horse head in the tutorial section. I think it might be helpful to you, as it shows some of the basics to carving and covering the cake.
