Hi guys,
I have no idea where else to turn so I'm hoping you may have some experience in baking cakes.
I can make a mean victoria sponge but I want to make my daughters 4th birthday cake.
I think there will be around 40 children there, so it would cost me a small fortune to get one made from the bakers and I want her to have something special and feel spoilt for the day.
These are some of the cakes I like and am going to attempt to make one of them.
Please tell me which one you like:

So what do you think? Do you think this is a bit above my skill level? How hard to you think it will be? What type of sponge should I make because I wouldn't want the cake to collapse (I know it would need a little stand thing inserted into the middle of the cake).
I really want her to have a WOW cake!
Cheers beforehand for your help!
