I have a cake to make next weekend for a groom. The cake will be a lemur, while I can make him lying down I would really like to make him in this position. http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/ca-lemur/ But I really dont know how that would work as far as structure. Any ideas? I know some of those like Doug usually can look at a shape and easily determine how to build the base. I am not gifted in that area. TIA

You can just do a cake in the shape of the body, then make the head out of RK treats and put it on a platform holder structure thingy. The tail wouldn't be cake, that you could make out of a central wire structure and build the tail up over that with RK treats and melted chocolate to keep it stiff. I don't know if I've ever done a tutorial on how to do the head part like that or not, I do it all the time with dog cakes. Email me and I'll send you a sketch.

See if this makes sense...It does to me but that doesn't mean anyone else will understand what I'm thinking

thanks costumeczar....makes perfect sense(so sweet of you to go to that trouble). I will post pictures when I am done.
