Hello there! This is a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. If I can recall what pans I used for the body-It was made with two 8in round pans and 1 pyrex bowl. All were torted and filled with buttercream to give it the heighth. What I did was wash the body and dried it then just stuck the body in the cake and then took it out when it was time to cut the cake. Pretty easy just alittle time consuming!
