Hi - It wasn't too difficult I made the individual cakes and put ribbons round the cake and the silver foil strips for the drums - the symbols were plates covered in gold foil and all of it stood on a stand that I actually borrowed but i know you can hire these from cake bake stores
How do you put the whole thing together? What did you use to decorate the drums? What did you use for the symbol?
