So I know I posted about this cake before but I am trying to figure something out. I am making a 3 tier cake for a 50th birthday (8", 10", 12" inch rounds). The top is going to have 2 small cakes in the shape of the number 50. I am incorporating the themes hunting, fishing and family. I have most of the figures done already.

My question is what color do I make the fondant to cover the cake?

There will be a waterfall from top to bottom and the base will be a beach scene with the family. I was thinking of making each tier a shade of gray (darker going down) so that the "50" would be white and each tier would look like going down a mountain. Does that make sense and if so does it sound good?

If not I would appreciate any suggestions!! Thanks again!!

Go with what you see in your mind. It's usually right!

thank you both for the encouragement!! I was thinking of making it marbel-like for a more "realistic" stone look. How does that sound?

I think making it marble would be awesome! That would give a very realistic stone effect! Can't wait to see pics!
