Hi,

I am a bit of a novice when it comes to baking, but that never stops me from a challenge, especially when it comes to something that I think my daughters will have fun doing.

I have been wanting to try this project for a long time with them and they are at an age now where it might be possible to succeed.  The big  problem is that I have no idea where to start.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for recipes, tutorials, or suggest a great cookbook that will help me make the cake in the picture below?  I am never oposed to buying a cookbook either.

I think this would be a lot of fun to make with my young daughters and even more fun to eat with them and a dozen of their friends.  lol

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
