Need advice and opinions. I would like to make a cake for my mom's 75th b'day. She wants coconut cake. We will celebrate her day as well as Easter. I would like to try to make it in the shape of the 7 and 5 and then decorate with decorated flower and Easter egg sugar cookies around it laying in some green coconut Easter grass.

Would I make a stencil on the computer for the 7and 5, bake rectangular and round pan cakes and cut to create the number shapes? Cut/fine-tune shapes after assembling the 2 layers? Any other ideas are VERY welcome!

Thank you so much!

Your idea sounds good.

Have you thought about just getting some pans in the shape of 7 and 5?

I was trying to avoid the cost of the pans but if the other way is going to be a disaster, I'll do it. How much do they run? Any good place to order?

Thanks!
