two/three different sized oval tins or round tins would be less carving.   What you carve off can be mixed with a little gananche or buttercream   to add back onto the cake to help form the shape and fill any gaps etc. before coating

I would totally use the 9X13.  Make 4, carve them down.  You dont have to waste the scrapes.  Make them into ultra trendy cake pops and sell them or give them as gifts.  You can even wrap the scraps really well to use for cake pops or cake balls later.  There is no reason to have the waste.

By the way, carve it, then take it apart and fill it, and you wont waste filling.  Just be sure you can put it back the same way.

also dont forget you can use krispie treats as a space filler. I have found that thin large plastic bowls make good krispie molds for curved shapes. since you are looking for a sort of oval shape. Take a large thin bowl and tape across the top to pull into an oval form. pack your krispies in. You can do a good 2 in base for your cake, or you can do a thin layer and cover in chocolate for your carriage top.  make your wheels out of sugar cookies. The ones I have seen the carriage is on a thin sheet of plywood with 4 legs hidden by the cookie wheels. Good Luck!
