Despicable Me - Minion party

For my youngest child's birthday, he decided he would like a Despicable Me party.

To make the cake I used a chocolate fudge cake recipe, because of the weight and height, it meant it wouldn't sink as much.

I baked 3 6" round cakes and used a pyrex dish with a 6" diameter rim, then stacked them.

I found the easiest way to fondant ice them was to do it in 2 parts, the curved head first and then around the body. I used the minions goggle band to cover the seam.
