Homemade Circus Cake

This was a cake I made for my best friends daughter. Due to my husband becoming ill and hospitalized the day the cake was needed, this was thrown together in three hours and not how I planned it.

I started by taking a cake carrier and putting styrofoam in the bottom and covering it with fondant. I then made gumpaste animals and attached them to the plate. With the top of the cake carrier, I cut an arch in it and placed it on top of the bottom plate. I put battery operated lights on the inside top of the cover.

I then baked 2 twelve inch caked and an eight inch using the 3D Durable Recipe. After filling and frosting the cakes, I placed them on top of the cake carrier and covered them with alternating stripes of red and white fondant.

I also made a sign from gumpaste and a cotton candy (made from real cotton candy) and popcorn stand.

When lit everyone could see the figures inside.
