Sandra, first off, how big does the circus cake have to be? Secondly, how about using one of your previous designs with some color changes. Here are a few that I found that might give you some inspiration for colors. I know how much you love to do Victorian designs, so if you do a google search, instead of putting Victorian, also try 'vintage' which will give you some color choices that would depict that 'old world' look. I have also included one of your own cakes that I think you could use only in the vintage circus/carnival colors. It would just require a few minor changes with different molds (Cheap ones found in the candy section of any cake decorating store-the ones used for melted chocolate) using circus animals.

I'm sure you do not need the cake to be as big as what I have included, but any one of these tiers may inspire you. Stripes made with fondant in a deeper richer red would give you that 'feel' for Victorian, and still give a feeling of circus. The cake right under your own cake (with the top hat) looks like something you could do and still seem Victorian.

Ok where to begin?
I would like to say wow the examples from you guys have been so motivating I want to make one... Haha
Now Sandra, I looked at your cakes too and I thinki you can do it, it may not be what you specialize in because I see great elegance with your cakes, but I agree with them you can do it and I would doing as Linda said incorabrate different colors to your style could be fabulous Good luck.

Those were beautiful cakes, Linda...The cake is only for 40 people, I wish it was 150. But I see what you mean, maybe I can turn it into a carnival theme...got inspired with those beautiful colors...we will see. Thank you Linda, Gail and Michelle...
