Hello,
i was wondering if i can ask this.
I know it may seem a bit strange or should i say difficult...
But what about a contest with a Disney theme?
I don't know if you've got to get permission from Disney,
don't think you have to..
Maybe i came up with an good idea?
Many greetings from the Netherlands and happy baking to you all,
Eros 
interesting you should suggest this just now....
I was just over at MousePlanet catching up on all things Disney.
GREAT idea.
and....
so long as the cakes are NOT SOLD nor offered for sale in any way, including design or how-to, and strictly for contest purposes only, making one should fall under the "fair use" concept of american copyright law -- not sure about in other countries.

wow -- should get disney involved -- make it an official one -- sort of like the FoodTV cake challenge -- have a live event at Disney (I vote World over Land) -- make it a CC convention and contest all in one!
Nice idea, but I think it should be extended to encompass all kiddy characters/heros. There are some people who can't stand the Disney globalisation - Nickleodeon, and lots of others have great characters that are also popular with kids, so I don't think we should leave them out! So maybe a more general character cake theme competition?

no we shouldn't leave them out..
but
in the interest of judging simplicity and sanity....
disney as one round
and then
more rounds for
Nickelodian
Hanna Barbera (Yogi! Huckleberry Hound! Jetsons, etc.)
Movie cartoons (MGM: tom & jerry; Warner Bros.: Bugs Bunny and Friends -- which could be a special category -- characters voiced by Mel Blanc)

one problem for me---
I don't know all the cartoon characters or stories of the world -- only those that HAVE been globalized -- (still haven't made heads nor tales of Anime!)
which is why, at least for now sticking to something globalized, like Disney is easiest.
even there -- would be fun to make it "supporting characters" not the princess (SO done to death!) -- the characters that add so much but so often get overlooked -- example Flora, Fauna, and Meriweather from Sleeping beauty -- esp., their fight over the dress scene -- and malificent's poor raven who ends up pink, blue, and green! --- for that matter -- forgotten Disney Villians (Malificent!) -- or dig way back in the vaults to Disney silly symphonies (all cakes in black white and gray)

(and we can save the whole broo-hah-hah about American marketing, cultural imperialism, why I can get a Big Mac nearly anywhere on the globe, but can't get a decent serving of German Bratts, schwartzbort and bier here in NC or any clotted creme for another day!)
Can we at least encompass those shown on the Disney Channels (not necessarily made by Disney, but bought out by them)? There are some characters there I would love to do (Bear for one, I'd like to be adopted by him please lol!).
