Hi all, please help me I need a quick and sophisticated idea for a company coming to town. it's due labor day weekend i want quick but not to simple because i get to advertise. I know it is very last minute but i couldn't turn down the opportunity to advertise 
now i am up the creek 
i have to show a couple of drafts this monday please help me PLEASE anybody
no sheetcakes
and i have to include there logo which is a pawTHANKS!!!! 
hmmm... ok - not knowing the kind of business - here's an idea or two:
1. Basically, replicate their logo in 3-D using a combination of different size rounds in a horizontal manner or
2. Do it vertically so that you really get noticed.
3. Make the bottom in the shape of the name in the logo and have the "paw" extended vertically off the base
Just a couple of quick, but not simple ideas
Can you scan in their logo, or direct us to their web site so it will be easier for us to help?
Could you replicate one of their products instead? My kids and I made a Scotch tape cake for a contest at our town's 3M picnic this year. The judges absolutely loved it. http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=906673 You could find out what their best selling product is and besure to put their logo on it where it's easily visable.
suhwa, i love your scotch tape, well, the problem is it is a business college, and the caterer for the event is doing it really upscale, and I guess at the last minute she realized she couldn't go it alone. So dummy me, i said oh, sure. Also i am not computer savvy enough to direct anyone to anything but the logo is just a big paw with there initial in it.
Print out and elarge their initial and cut it out. Roll out gumpaste or fondant and then use the initial as a template and cut it out. Let it harden. When it's dry apply any other colors needed in royal icing or candy melts. Attach it to a sucker stick with said candy melts or royal icing. After you've made your paw out of rounds and iced them, stick the initial in so that it's standing up in the middle.
or
Take your enlarged logo, choose the reverse option on your printer's screen. Make a FBCT of the letter. Make paw cake, plop FBCT in the middle and then finish decorating around it.
or
Take a large sheet cake, a super enlarged/4 paper poster sized letter and carve it from the sheet cake (how we did the tape). Ice it in one of the school's colors and then pipe BC paws all over it.
or
What about a 3-D computer cake with their logo on the screen, maybe done in edible image if you can swing it?
I just googled laptop cake and tons of sites with pictures popped up. Do a sheet cake with a laptop on it. Use a thin fondant covered sponge of cake for the bottom of the laptop and a thin fondant covered styrofoam for the screen. Paint the logo on the screen, and when dry gently brush piping gel over it starting in the white and moving to the colored part of the screen. Wash your brush after each pass to be sure you don't blend colors. (practices a couple of swipes first on an extra piece.
Key boards look like they could be complex. If it was me I'd make up the general demensions of the area of keys on separate fondant, mark each key with slit from a knife or pastry wheel. I would do the whole computer in gray, so that my keyboard would be gray, so that I could hand write with a food coloring marker each of the keys. (I'm terrible at piping. 
) Off course Dell has all sorts of lovely colored laptops right now. Maybe they have a color that will coordinate or offset the school logo.
Best of luck.
Well... you do have the paw - that could be rather large, the laptop could have a couple of "books" on the sides that would be simple sheet cakes. (Or) You could also build a platform for the laptop/paw out of sheet cake, decorated like a stack of books. The logo on the screen would be key.
