My nephew is having a birthday party at a local moon bounce playplace and wants a cake to match. Anyone have any idea how I could make this cake? All I can come up with is 4 square cakes stacked with fondant accents,but that seems kind of boring.

How many people is this for?

Here's my idea -

Two square cakes, pvc pipe covered with fondant in between, as the sides. Use medical gauze for the netting on the sides.

Either way, I can't wait to see this one!

Or if you wanted to keep it edible, you could pipe royal icing out to make the netting. It would be fragile, but... Or if you have any Sugarveil icing, you could easily use that! Just pipe it out, pick it up and attach to your cakes like playingwithsugar said.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The party isn't until May,so I"ve got an ample amount of time to work it out.

Theresa the cake has to serve about 40 people. The pvc pipe is a good idea.
namaman: I thought about royal for the nets,but I have to a 30min drive to deliver the cake and I'm not sure how it would hold up.

I kind of like the rice krispies idea. That would be the easiest route,I think.
How do you get fondant to stick to the rice krispies? What do you think about taking one those pie lattice cutter and using it on fondant? That would make a great net.
