Next week I will be making a My Little Pony cake for my BF's neice. I had an opps today and now have an extra Bundt cake-yellow cake mix.

I am trying to think of some ideas to use it. We have brainstormed icing it in green like the hill side, then adding a cupcake in the middle to fill up the hole. Ice the middle Blue for a lake/stream, then have a bridge going over the middle of the cake.

I was thinking making a bridge out of MMF and letting it dry, but will this be strong enough to support a small MLP? How thick do I need to make the fondant? I was thinking 1/4 in, but wasnt' sure on this one.

I will also be doing cupcakes for extra servings, any ideas on how to decorate these? I am hoping to display them on the Cupcake N'More stand.

Any help or any other ideas to use this cake for this event is appreciated. Thanks in advance, I will definitely post pictures when I am done with the cake.

Maybe some kind of rainbow that goes over your cupcake? But ya know I think you're idea is just great.....

I like your ideas! My suggestion is to dress up the cupcake and more stand. I think it looks kind of blaah and takes away from our work. I used it for baby einstein cupcakes and put shredded crinkle paper on it first. The pic is in my photos.

Newtodecorating-thanks for the great idea on the cupcake stand. I was trying to figure out how I could use it without having to make all the cupcake b/c we wont' need that many servings, but we still need more than the cake will serve. After looking at your's I really like how that turned out. Doesn't look empty

Does anyone have any recommendations on how thick I need to make the MMF to support at least part of the weight of the MLP? Also will fondant work? Or does anyone have a better recommendation of what would work?

I would like to get the Bridge started today as I took the day off of work and have time incase it doesn't work like planned.

Thanks for answering so quickly!

try a 1/4 inch and then make sure that half way through you flip it over so the back can drie out also.....If you have a weeks time this should work.... I think it hold the weight of the "BABY PONY" I just bought those and they seem light.....
Im doing a cake for the my DD in three weeks.
