Which Design For Ancient Roman Themed Cake

I’m making a Roman themed cake for an 8 year old boy. Which design do you think looks best.
First one has a red cape draped round the top/back attached with gold buttons, brown red leather flaps with gold buttons covering the front, silver grey armour plates on the top with name and age in gold letters.
Second one has the same brown red leather flaps with gold buttons covering the sides all the way round, plain red top, red shield with gold crest and gold name and age.
Ditto! I love the first one, too. I love the red cape.
Thanks everyone. Would you cover the whole cake in fondant and then add the cape, armour and flaps? Or just apply these bits directly onto buttercream? I think the flaps should fan out a bit from the cake but then they will definitely need a layer of fondant underneath which I’d rather not have (just to save money and time).
I see no reason why you need to cover the cake with fondant to have the cape flare. Lift it away from the back of the cake and shape the "flared" sections and let them dry for a while with pieces of aluminum foil balled up under them.
wow -- great job -- so ancient roman style -- I bet the birthday boy was thrilled!
