Freezing overnight will make it firm enough to thaw with minimal crumbs. Be sure to use a very sharp serrated knife and gently saw, don't press down to carve. HTH

When I carve cake, I take some of the scraps and mix them with buttercream frosting to make a 'paste' like consistency. Then I use it like a molding material to build up certain areas (like eyebrows on a face, etc). I got the idea from one of Toba Garrett's books, and it works great, plus you are not using all frosting to build areas up, so it tastes better too. 
HTH!
