I started off by baking 1 10" white cake for the back of the couch, 1 8" white cake for the arms of the couch, and 1 9"x13" chocolate cake for the base and cushions.
Then I covered a board with fondant icing for the cake to sit on.
Then I arranged the couch so I knew where all the pieces would go.
Then I iced and fondanted all of the pieces of the couch.
After all the fondanting, I made a couple other finishing touches such as the doilies and the pillows (both out of fondant)
Once the couch was done, I started on the figures of the dolls. I used gum paste for them (and some royal icing for the hair) and they worked out pretty well!
Tina just picked up the cake about an hour ago. I hope she likes it!

That is AWESOME! If I ever need a comfy couch cake made, you better believe I am coming to you :)
hello there - I must say this must be the cutest cake i have ever seen... i am actually interested in getting one for my daughter but can not find anyone that can do it. What are the possibilities of u doing it for me by this Sunday? Im in NY... (im asking for too much arent I?!)
Hi shukasmom, Thank you so much for the compliments, however, I wouldn't be able to do it for 2 reasons. 1: I'm not taking any more orders for December and since I work full time, one week is just too short notice for me. 2: I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada so I'm nowhere near NY! Good luch in your search!
