I was watching a rerun of a Cake Challenge the other day and they were making Dr. Suess cakes. My son's birthday is a week before Christmas and I'm thinking of making a Mr. Grinch cake for him, since it's his favorite story ever. Now keep in mind, I'm rather new to this whole cake decorating thing and have NEVER attempted sculpting before. Any suggestions? TIA.
I am no carving expert, but could you use the Wilton 3d cake pan and then mold Dr. Seuss from gumpaste. Or could yu start with the 3d bear pan and then trim to favor him and mold his hat out of gumpaste?
Make sure the cake(s) are frozen when you carve them - makes it much easier. Make lots of templates before hand to get a feel of how he should look in 3D form.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Although, I probably could do Mr. Grinch completely from memory. LOL. And I know we have the book somewhere around here, probably under Connor's bed. LOL. Thanks for the advice about freezing cakes before carving. Having never carving before and I try not to freeze cakes, I would never have thought of that. LOL.
NP - good luck! I would have been a scaredy cat and just went with the Dr. Seuss hat - just a bunch of stacked cakes and red/white stripes! But...I am a chicken like that Please post pics when you are done - I am sure it will turn out great!
