Okay, my mother teaches prenatal/lamaze classes and asked me to make a cake. I would like to make a couch with pregnant laday sitting on it eatting ice cream or something, really was my fav pass time while pg. Problem, how many layers should the cake be to carve down to the couch. It needs to serve about 20, will most likely be less. I am thinking about 2 square layers then cut those in half and stack 3 high and use 4th for the couch back and arms, maybe 3 cakes for extra. Will use a butter cream filling (not very creative with fillings) and mmf for cover, after crumb coat of course. Not sure on the colors or anything really unsure of myself at this point. This will be great exposure for me so I want it to look really good. Do you think this will work or is there a better way. Thanks in advance, hope all your weekends are going well.

option 1: use a long loaf pan and just carve out the seat area and then cover in BC or fondatn

option 2: (see sketch)

Thank you so much Doug, that is what I want and you sketches are great. Hope you are enjoying your summer vacation.

Doug, you never cease to amaze me. Will you come live in my kitchen? I'll clean out a drawer and buy you more pens and paper!
