Wizard of Oz Cake

I have been asked to do a Wizard of Oz cake for a friend in July. It is for an adults birthday. Anyone have any good ideas??

How about a yellow brick road spiraling up the tiers with memorable scenes on the face of the cakes. Uh, like some munchkins, the poppy field, emerald city skyline, hmmm...that's all I can think of off hand. It's been a while since I've seen it....OOOooo with witches legs sticking out of the very bottom of the cake! Oh! And don't forget the flying monkeys (on wires?) flying over the cake.
Hahaha....I totally go overboard. I can't help it. It's fun!

i can't help but think of ruby slippers!!!

From my warped mind: An idea for a topper could be the Wicked Witch of the West's hat with some legs sticking out from under it with the ruby shoes on. Her melting scene.

I like the yellow brick road going up around the tiers and the witches feet coming from under the entire cake. Maybe having the emerald city be the cake topper since that's where they're trying to get and I like the flying monkeys idea too!!!! You MUST post pics of this it's going to be so cute!

At the OSSAS this year someone did a wizard of oz cake that was just amazing. The picture just doesn't do it justice, but it has some great ideas you might be able to work into your cake. I've been dying for an excuse to do an oz cake ever since I saw this one!

ADORABLE! YOU MUST have the legs sticking out from under the cake! That idea is too good!!!

I agree, the legs were one of my favorite things on this cake. I also loved the lion's tail around the cake. You could just look at that cake for forever and keep finding neat things on it. To me, that's a sign of a really great cake.
