Please look in the galleries under lingerie and you will see a 1 of a kind cake. It's a 3 dimensional with a green bodice. It looks like a manaquin torso. It's georgeous! I want to make this weekend, but I need to do it part dummy cake part real. any help I can use. I pm'd the cakegirls but got no responce. This is who made it. Have never done a dummy and I'm concerned about icing sliding off and it being top heavy. Also, did they dowel the breasts also?
Please send in the suggestions.
Thanks,
amy
I can't help you in figuring out how to do it; but I can help by attaching the link so others won't have to go do a search in the gallery.

WOW!
In the comments she writes..
I made it with 9 round cake pans, froze them and then stacked and carved. It was carved by my best friend Rachel who is an excellent artist! Once it was carved, we dissassembled, filled the layers, added dowel rods. Then put them back in the freezer in layers. That morning we took it out and frosted it with BC. It was lots of fun! It was a huge hit!
I used 8, 12" round cakes and 1, 8" for the neck part of her. It was a very large cake.
Sounds like the breasts were carved out of the round cakes and not separate.
Good Luck!
We can only see the front. So it's possible that the back is flat. If that's the case, then lay your cake on wax paper on a board. Then you would just frost and stack your rectangle layers as high as you need the make the torso so that it will stand up. Then cut the shoulder/torso shape out. You will also want to make two wondermolds for the boobs. Perhaps a lightweight cake, like a sponge or angel food cake. While the torso is still laying flat, frost enough so that the "boobs" will adhere. I think the dowels are a good idea for keeping them in place. You could even use some real thin dowels, also, and insert two just underneath them, to act as a cradle. you can frost over them later. It's up to you if you think it would be easier to frost itstanding up or laying down. If you decide to decorate the front before standing it up, you just freeze after frosting. When you're ready to stand it, you can just raise it up by the wax paper, and peel it off. then you frost the back and add your accessories.
Any of that make sense?
Thevienneaus' cake is a different cake than the one Scoobam posted...
Amy said the one she was looking at was "cakegirls" cake, and the one I linked us up to belonged to cakegirls.
thanks, that made perfect sence. I've, never done a dummy cake, would I simply wrap styrofoam in plastic wrap and ice as normal? No worries about icing sliding off? I'm going to do the bottom half a dummy.
Thanks somuch 4 the help.
