Cake Decorating Help - total novice!

I thought about buttercream - but i cant find any examples to look at. Would it be piping the whole cake? I tried to buttercream an Iggle Piggle cake two yeards ago and it wasn't my friend, it looked like a crumb coat but i did it the night before with no research and just for fun.
I wonder if i just made a round cake with race track over it and put his cars on it... easy way out? LOL. I could do cupcakes with stick ons etc as well.
His birthday has crept up so fast and i forgot about everything
Im not sure where cake shop would be over here - Im in werribee area if you happen to know? Or ill be heading to south wharf costco on the weekend so already driving if there is anything else this side of town?

Suzie Q in Niddrie is ment to be great a friend swears by them and has done courses there.

If all too hard you can get the edible pics and stick on cake, or get those picture rings that are plastic and often on donuts. Or order 1 from Fergus plairre they do awesome cakes we got a buzz light year cake from there last year for DS1.

I LOVE FP but I wasnt sure if they would do character cakes or if they just do the edible picture on top.
I might give them a call and save experimentation for when i am feeling more healthy

Yes give them a call or look on website! I ordered Buzz online and you just nominate store you want to pick up from and they call you next day to confirm order.
