But you're right, it really isn't that mucht more work than any other sculpted cake.
I just do it "freestyle" without measuring every exact cut. The only thing I measure is the right distance on a round cake, but I usually just use an hexagon, square or flower shaped cakeboard under a round cake as a guideline. With other shaped cakes, I just use the cake itself as a guideline.... of course
Other than that, I just play with it and see what comes out

OMG!. If I had to do it freehand I would be lucky if there was a cake left the size of a cupcake. I'd have to use toothpics AND the Wilton tool, which I have.

I marked my cake at even intervals and carved it some, then used cake scraps to make the shape:
@ Dorie, you're welcome 
Please let me know when you post it, I would love to see it!
@ Serious Cakes: WOW!!!! And I really do mean WOW!!! I have never seen such smooth buttercream and your piping is very impressive. But I'm most impressed by your steady hand
