I just love this idea. One of my favorite birthday cakes my mom made me when I was a kid was a "Wizard of Oz" themed cake. When my mom decorates a cake she goes alllllll out and I'm telling you that cake was the bomb. It had 3 dimensional characters AND a yellow brick road. I'll try to hunt down a picture and post at another time........it's too good to not share.
Anyways, this is an easier way to do an Oz cake for us novice cake decorators. It made me giddy.
