I made this for my dd's First Holy Communion. The girl is gumpaste, the head/bodice done with a mold. 8" round covered in fondant. The stand is made from 2 cake board drums with a styrofoam cylinder glued in between to give height and support. I saw this design on http://www.flickr.com/photos/cakespace/2401223972 and saved it for future use. I was so excited to finally try it!
