This was for a friends sons 1st birthday - what a disaster!!! It was a kit, the face and top part were plastic. I carved the cake and then followed instuctions only to find when I added the kit part of cake my measurements went wrong somewhere along the line as things did not mach up. After some major paniking I took off the icing patched the cake up and re-iced. Not the best looking cake - but they were happy.
