My teacher wants me to make his wifes 30th birthday cake and apparentlyhe calls her his shmoos..... i looked up pictures of this so called "shmoos" on google and he is a boling pin shaped character. very lovable and very cute. but i dont know how to make it into a cake. should i just cut out the shape and star it? or should i trace the picture onto the cake with piping gel? im not sure. i think he wants me to cut the cake into the shape of a shmoos... but if anyone could give me some ideas that would be great.

Never heard of this shmoos before but sound like it would be easy to cut a cake into shape. Be sure to charge what you would if it was not shapes.......in other words, it you start w/a 12x8 and trim it down to about 11x5 still charge the same as if it was 12x8 - that would be 15 servings times whatever you base price is.

If you want to go all out wild, you can shape the body and use rice crispies to make the head/neck. He has such a wide bottom, he should be fairly stable. Other wise I would use an oval or round pan and cut out the shape from there.
