First of all I want to thank everyone for their great ideas for my daughters upcoming 8th birthday. We have some very creative minds working on here.
Second of all, my daughter has told me what cake she wants - are you ready for this?
A 3-D Garfield on rollerskates 
Now, for you more experienced decorators this might not sound scary, but I seriously do not even know where to begin. To start off I am not going to be using fondant on this cake. Any ideas or pictures would be greatly appreciated!
WOW..good luck... I don't know but could you use the 3d bear pan for garfield and mini bundts for the skates??then dowel the whole thing to keep it together?? I don't know, maybe a more experienced person could help you...
good luck
I'd be terrified too lol I know, I'm not helping! There's a couple 3D Garfield cakes in the gallery. I couldn't get to the page with the info cause the search still isn't working right but here's one of the pics...

charleydog: thank you - I never even thought of the mini bundt pans for skates...still trying to picture it in my head. I'm a visual person with no vision for this cake 
Lisa: Thanks for the picture...it helps.
I was all ready for my daughter to pick a huge castle with princesses or something to that effect. I thought oh that will be challenging, but at least I would have pictures and people who have done the cake. Then she says a stand up Garfield on skates. Is she trying to give me a panic attack?
