My baker's called saying she has covid and so obviously can't make any cakes! Party is this weekend. Had ordered a 3 tier jungle themed fondant cake. Can't find anyone locally who has time to make one. Am I mad to try and make it myself?

What do I need? Any particular type of sponge or can it be any? Do I need dowels? Argghhh!

Am trying to order bits online now, any suggestions would be great.
So far looking for a fondant rolling pin, an angled palette knife and some shape cutters. I'm really lost Confused

Waitress do decent sponges decorated in plain white icing. Buy as a base then get some ready made Fondant icing/ figures and decorate yourself....easier than starting from scratch at short notice.
