I need to make a figure bursting out of a fondant covered cake. I've searched the site (not sure I've yet figured out the best way to search) but can't seem to find any kind of directions for this technique. Is there a link that has already discussed how to do it? If not, any suggestions? I really appreciate your help.

I would guess that you just use a knife and cut a cross/star into the fonant, and just peel it back to place your figure...?

It's called and exploding star cake in the Planet Cake book. I know there is a tutorial on flicker, but I can't find it right now.

Found it!
