We have a group of volunteers that occasionally make dinner for the Ronald McDonald house in the area and I volunteered to make the cake. It's a fall theme and there will be kids and adults. Any ideas?

Here are some photos I found.. Maybe you can do a BCT of one of these and add some trees to either side with icing and make some orange/red leaves from fondant and lay them around the tree and around the cake to give the fall theme..Good Luck!

Great, thanks Briansbaker!

This isn't an idea, but Mary Ann, as a parent who had to spend some time in a Ronald McDonald House when my baby son had heart surgery, I want to thank you and the others in your group who volunteer. Every little bit of normalcy helps ... believe me! I now bake every week for the RMDH in our area.

For the record, my son is now 10 months old with a clean bill of health. Good luck on the cake.

JillK just wanted to say so happy that your son is doing great!!!

Briansbaker I LOVE the one with the hands!! That is great!

Thanks JillK. I'm looking forward to making something fun for the kids that will hopefully provide a small distraction for the parents. I'm glad to hear your little guy is doing well.

Mary-Ann,
How about using the "standup house cake" pan from Wilton. I have seen it at Michaels. You could do the heart and Ronald's hand on the front of the house.

Here's the link:

Thanks Naty, That's a great idea!

I ALSO THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA ABOUT THE STAND UP HOUSE. VERY COOL IDEA

I decided to stay with the fall theme. Check my photos to see what I ended up with. Thanks for all your suggestions.
