Toy Story Cake

First ever attempt at MMF cake, thanks to all the great ideas on youtube. Made everything from scratch, the hardest thing was finding the figurines at a resonable price, son loved it.
First find MMF (marshmellow fondant video - how to make)
Second find (marshmellow fondant - how to make cake)
Third check out videos on tips and advice about how to colour, and make figures using MMF
And finally - check out images on web and go for it. Made cake on a Friday and finished decorating it Saturday......fondant can be made before-hand and keeps really well. Didn't have any of the lettering equipment so traced letters onto baking paper and then placed onto rolled out fondant. Made impression onto fondant and then cut out with a knife, tedious but worth it.

This cake is absolutely ridiculous!!!! wow! what are flash cutters?

yeah I just meant that I didn't have any lettering cutters. I just made do with what I had. Our five year old wasn't going to worry about lettering that wasn't perfect so there was no need to purchase anything that I didn't need.. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks ReddLipstick - the bedstand is just rolled out coloured fondant with tylose added. Drew a template onto baking paper first then placed this on top of fondant. Used toothpick to draw outline on to fondant using the template as guide, then used sharp knife to cut out. Use tooth pick to add grain detail to fondant and then added balls to top of posts using a little water. I didn't have any flash cutters etc so just used this method for lettering, stars and other details. Let it dry!
