Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a large number cake to feed at least 30 -40 people? I need to make a number 35 cake for a friend's birthday. What do I need to do? I'm a beginner!

Here's a chart that may help you figure out how to make the numbers. Some think it's complicated but it shows how to create numbers using less cake than if you were to just cut the #s from a sheet cake.

Over here most of our cake decorating supply shops hire tins out including large numbers do any of your stores offer a similar service?
