I have a cake due in a week that needs to look like a chiminea!! 
How in the world!? Would I have to stack rounds and carve the sides to make the shape? How would I make the grill door and fire? Fondant? How would I make it stable? I like a challenge, but gee whiz! Thanks in advance, CC people!
OMG, Doug, you are the BEST. When are you going to start teaching classes? Thank you for the sketch, and for having the perfect solution (as usual). Using the wonder mold pan will make it SO much easier!!! Just for grins, what would you charge for this cake?
Wow, Doug!! Does your mind go 100 mph all the time? You have such great ideas!!
Doug, you should do a cake for each of your sketches and then initial and frame them and hang them all over your bakery one day. 
I would do this myself but there are two problems:
1. I'm never gonna have a bakery.
2. My sketches belong in a kindergarten classroom, not a bakery. 
a few "touch of whimsy" thoughts:
find cotton candy in a bag and pull apart to make smoke coming out the top.
cover the board in fondant to look like patio tile
add small dog sleeping in front of fire.
hahah! I love it!!!
YES YES, Post a photo when you have it done!
[quote="Doug"]a driving in to work thought:
for a stand you might be able to find one of those wrought iron pillar candle stands OR a small plant stand (if the plant stand had a mosaic tile top all the better)
Michaels new add has them for 40 percent off. I think it starts this weekend. How do you put the quote thing in a box? I'm so technically challenged .
WOW!! I really, really really would love to see this cake when you're done! Please share!
You are so impressive Doug! Where is your bakery? I want to go there for vacation next time my b-day comes along, just so you can make ME a cake! 
LOL
Well, next time I have to do a sculpted cake, I'm asking Doug!!!! You're awesome!
Can't wait to see pics of this cake!
If you have a big lots near by they have scrolled wrought iron plant stands for under $20 for most of them they would look great for that cake.
Thanks everyone!! I second everyone's opinions on Doug's talents, and I will ty to post a pic when it's done. Thanks again for all the help and advice! I will be checking on the stands...I loved the "whimsy" ideas!
