We are taking her to see the show as a bday treat so the cake really should be themed if poss. I'm thinking a round madeira, cream/slightly orange tinted icing and the LK show pic - features painted on in black food colouring? or possibly applied in strips of black/brown coloured ready roll?

Mmmm, good idea but would like it to be more authentically home-made IYGWIM

what about using those?

make 3 or 4 round cakes, then ice in green, use flakes, horizontally to look like tree stumps, then make leaves from green icing, and then put those ^^ on amongst the leaves?
