I have a request for a 3-D bust cake - I'm just wondering what the best approach to one is? I saw some directions online for using 2 9in rounds stacked, then a third one quartered as the shoulders, and using rice krispie treats for the head and plan on using this method, I'm a little timid about carving cake...just wondering if that is a good method, if you have any advice on this cake, and what the going rate is for a 3-D bust cake without too much carving?

thanks!

here's a bump for you! I'm looking for the same advice, i'm trying to make a spiderman bust. i'm so worried about the thing collasing on the way over to the party. I've seen alot with the head made out of styrofoam, but i want one that's all edible.

I did mine using a styrofoam dummy head. But ere's another thread discussing it. Hopefully this will help you!
