My son is wanting a 3D pac-man cake for his birthday! I was thinking of using the ball pan but I'm having trouble on how to attach the legs to the bottom because with a board it would lose its round shape? HELP!!

Well, If you were going to do a small pacman figure, I'd say to use pretzel sticks and then cover in royal or fondant to shape the legs. But if you mean the whole cake is pacman, then I'd say fondant shaped like legs.


One way to go on this is how about doing a FBCT of the pacman maze screen? Draw the maze on the cake, then use smaller figures made out of fondant or mmf and set on top of the cake, or just do a FBCT of the figures and maze. I think that would look really cool. JMO.

I grew up on pacman, space invaders, donkey kong. Love them all. Please post a pic when you finish! I'd love to see it.

Good Luck!

You won't lose the shape if you cut just enough off the bottom to make it stable-it's a much smaller amount than you would think then put 2 long dowels thru the ball cake and into the bottom cake (assuming you'll have a bottom tier) Check out the very last cake in my pics. It'sthe Death Star from star wars and I didn't lose the roundness. I'm thinking trying to put the ball cake on legs would make it really unstable.
