HI, I have a fair in a couple of weeks, its the only advertising i do. I need a design/idea for a cake to as my husband says "peacock" cake to make as a dummy. I am planning on a Fortnite cake and a mermaid one. Just wondering if there was any other very popular designs that i could create to show myself off (LOL). Any picture or ideas are welcome please

Not sure what  you are asking for.  By the working in your post I get the impression you are not in the US.  That will make a difference what some of us might suggest.   Are you looking for tiered cakes or single layer for b'days & other occasions?    Just as a start heres a suggestion:   Looking For Tall Square Cake Ideas

HI Kakeladi,


Sorry if my post was hard to understand, so every year I do my towns home day fair, and that is the only advertising i do. I am a residential kitchen and have been going on 8 years now by word of mouth and this Home Day Fair. So i give out samples of my cakes (in 2 oz. cups) and have about 6-8 dummy cakes on display to kind of show off  my work. I like to have dummy cakes that will make people stop and say OMG. I was looking for ideas or new fads that i can make the dummys into.The picture you posted is beautiful, is the top gray parts combed?

i did NOT make that cake - as the name at the bottom right shows.  Most likely it is combed but it also could be many, many thin strands of fondant 'snakes' or something pressed into fondant which is wrapped around the sqs.

Here are a couple more casual ideas:  How about something along the lines of a modified Lambeth?  https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/2104009/lambeth-practice-cake OR https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1379799/modified-lambeth  OR other ideas:  https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1358653/boys-dinosauer-birthday     https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1333233/hot-dog-birthday-time

https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1317831/no-clowning     https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1293137/tri-level-christmas I've used this design for b'days, and graduations also.    What about carving/sculpting something?  https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1285665/hissing-goose    https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1285662/cute-pup   One last idea for you:  https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/84663/romantic-wedding-shower-design   

As you can see, I did most of my decorating in b'cream but many can be done in fondant with little change.  Hope these give you some ideas to work out in your own design/taste.
