Need CC's help again!

I'm doing a princess cake for two kids to feed 8 people. I have 2 tiara's made out of chocolate and to give you an idea for size they both were shaped using a can of Crisco. The mother wants a filling in the cake...
I'm going to do cookies and cream (irrelevent really) anyways, the sides have to be fairly high because I want to put the Disney Princess's headshots on the side of the cake.

The mother requested Disney Princess and square so far this is what I have come up with......

Please help with the size of the cake! I have pans that will work but it will be way too much cake!

Thanks!

Those tiaras are going to take up a bunch of room unless you kinda stack them on top of each other. I think you will jaust have to make 8" or 10" to get to room you need - they will just have a lot leftover - unless you want to do a dummy bottom layer.

Hello Gibson
Here is what I would do....
Cover a very large board with fondant; quilt it so it looks like a cushion;
make your small cake for 4, & center it on the board.
Place the tieras on either side of the small cake, resting on the quilted board & tilted against the cake.
that leaves the top of the little square cake to be decorated for your Disney Princess theme.
hope this helps.
ciao
