On how to construct a Tummy Cake?? Do you construct the tummy directly on top of the sheet cake, or do you construct it and stack it on the sheet cake??

On of my best gf's is having a baby and I really wanted to surprise her with a belly cake. I have seen soo many wonderful ones on this site, yet I just don't know how to go and construct one on my own.

Any help is MUCH appreciated!! (Maybe someone could post instructions in the How-To section??

Thanks!!

I think most people use the sports ball set from wilton for that perfect round tummy, you can usually find those pretty cheap at Wal-Mart. You could probably use sculpted round cakes....not sure.... I've actually been wondering about this myself!

Some use the round sports ball and some use the egg shaped pan depends on what shape you want the belly and all that I've heard use the small sports ball for the breasts. HTH I'm doing one myself in a couple of weeks, they are too cute!!!!

Baking_Booth and debster got you covered.

But if you need slightly more detailed info:
