Make the buttercream frosting of your choice. Frost cake layers of the same size together until you have three, two layer cakes.

Roll out appropriate sized fondant for your cake size. Drape over cake and smooth. Cut of excess with a fondant cutter. Do for all three cakes. The 8" layer is orange, 6" is black, and 3" is white.
