Okay here is my issue I need help.

Someone asked if I could make them a cake and I said sure. They wanted a sheet cake for a birthday. They asked for nice border I said sure they wanted nice color scheme I said sure. Then they said oh yeah by the way can you make the chef from south park standing up.

So I was wondering if my fellow CC can help me figure out
how to constuct and complete this cake . Where do I begin?

Well, if you had access to an edible printer you could make him on a gumpaste plaque and stand him up?

Maybe you could pm this caker amd ask how they did this one. I've had it in my favorites for a while. I wanted to make it for my husband, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Good Luck!!!

I don't profess to be an expert, but could you just make him out of fondant/gumpaste?? How big does he have to be??

And if you can turn a request for a sheet cake into a full fledged carved character like the Cartman cake.....good for you! I want to hear about it....go for it! Go! Go! Go!

You could check this thread about fondant cut-outs, looks like an easy way to do it.

you can do a chocolate transfer and stand it up in the cake.

I would like to thank all of you for your help I have to make this by Jan 28, 2009 so I will post a pic to let you all see how it came out.

Thanks lane52403 I did pm the link and I hope they get back to me but if not the pic gives me a better idea.

Thanks again CC Family

Can't wait to see your cake!!!

I would like to thank everyone for all their support and advice. Special thanks to promeegirl. I had so much fun in making this cake and I know the more I do the better I will become. So here was my first attempt at the Chef from South Park

Great cake! Congratulations.
