I have a client who requested a 2 layer 9" round yellow cake with white icing. The person who the cake is for bakes pies. My vision is to make an oven with a little pie in it, a rolling pin and crust, and a mixing bowl and spoon and put it on top of the cake. What is the best medium to use? Thanks!

I made something similar here for my sons birthday. He loves to do laundry

so the oven sits on top of the nine inch cake? i tell yah -- for beginner sculptors i like marzipan -- it takes color like crazy and is more forgiving/secure than fondant -- but all of the mediums you listed would work --

the most important thing to me is that the pieces can be eaten -- i would avoid gum paste -- i would advise you to add flavor to the fondant -- it's candy -- zip it up -- peeps will love it --

but there's learning curves to each different one too --  

I'm not sure why my whole thing didn't post. Here is something similar that I made for my sons birthday. I sculpted the washing machine out of rice crispies then covered it in melted chocolate. I used a micro planer to get it smooth and flat then I panned it with modeling chocolate. 

It won't let me edit my post. I meant to say paneled.

For some reason, I was visualizing the stove, itself, to be the cake with a door similar to Crystal's washer, and the pie inside.  If that is your thinking, I would cover the cake/stove with fondant and make all the accessories from fondant with a bit of Tylose or modeling chocolate.  Probably, I would use fondant, since I already had it, instead of making a batch of modeling chocolate for a few accessories.

OMG that cake is cute as all get out!!!!!! That washing machine is fabulous! I love it! Thank you for explaining how to make it...I prob would have made a big lump of fondant into a stove shape and Lord only knows what would have happened!   My nephew's name is Grayson...he's 4. @Crystal72384 ‍ so you made that lumberjack cake. That stump is awesome!  So thank you to everyone! You all are so helpful! So like why does my cake have to be round? I can make a square cake (who knew and I even have square pans lol) and turn it into an oven like @SandraSmiley ‍ suggested. I really need to start thinking out of the box a little more. @K8memphis I have never used marzipan. I look forward to trying it sometime. Glad to hear it takes color well! You guys rock!
