I started out trying to make a regular flat two layer 10" round cake and the second layer fell apart while transferring to cooling rack so after freaking out for a few seconds I realized I could turn it into a slope since I was already making penguins. I havent learned out to do fondant, gumpaste or royal icing yet since I have only taken class I of the wilton course so I just did them with buttercream, not the nicest....but I had so much fun!
