Someone out there in Cake Central Land has to have an idea for doing a 3D M & M cake. My nephew is turning 2 in Sept and I had this great idea for doing a cake that looks like the little candies. My sister-in-law wants it to be 3D not just frosted to look like one on a flat round cake. Any ideas as to how I can do this?

Not quite sure how this would work but the first two things that came to mind were the sports ball pan or taking a round pan (thinking 2 cakes maybe??) and standing them up. I'm sure you would have to dowel them. I am pretty sure that I have seen this done somewhere, I just can't remember where. I am sure one of the brilliant people on here will come up with some great ideas for you!! Good luck.

Yeah, I'd use two round cakes, 8" and stick them together, level off the botton so it will stand up....use dowels to secure to bottom cake and have legs coming out from the bottom to look like the M & M guy is sitting down, attach fondant arms, eyes, etc.
Be sure and post a picture when you get done....this sounds really cute!
My first thought was the 3D egg pan as. I would level off the bottom so that it could sit up and then I would cover it in MM fondant to help hold it together. I would use the mm fondant to make the arms and legs and then I would place little real M&M's all around it. This will turn out cute and I would love to see the finished pics
