Customer saw the horse cake that I did on last weekend and decided that I had to do her daughter's 1st B-Day cake. I agreed and asked what is the theme? She said my little one loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club House and that's what kind of cake we want. Thats when I knew I was in big trouble...because I don't even know what that is and I can't find a clear picture of it.

Here's a link for the show's website.

Thanks for your help...I will post picture after much prayer!!!

I just made one last weekend, and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My big difficulty was covering the sphere Mickey head in fondant. Boy, was that hard!! But luckily the imperfections were at the bottom, and I got them somewhat smoothed out with shortening. He red "body" of the clubhouse was cake (as well as the 11x15 underneath)but everything else was styrofoam covered in fondant. The white hand in the back, as well as the collars, was solid fondant. I tried doing a solid fondant slide about 8 days in advance, and it was STILL too weak! So I scrapped it - next time I'll add gumtex so it dries faster.

Good luck kimhamjohn!
