You'll Need:

For the chocolate cake (one cake per number):

- 4 eggs
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
- 1½ cups flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 pinch baking powder

For the cake pan (depending on the cake):

- 9-inch round cake pan
- 9 x 9-inch square cake pan

For the cream cheese frosting:

- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 cups powdered sugar

Here's How:

1. For the chocolate number cake, first preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the eggs and sugar together until frothy, and gradually mix in the softened butter. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together and add to the wet ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 45 minutes. 

2. For the cream cheese frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and then gradually add the powdered sugar until completely combined.

Number 3 Decoration:

To decorate the Number 3, spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake. Press the marshmallows into the ends of the cake and distribute the M&M's by color to make the cake look like a rainbow over clouds.

Number 27 Decoration:

- cardboard strips, 1-inch wide
