Hi,
anyone knows how to make a skeleton hand like the skeleton hand holding the top cake by Brownen weber on spooky cake contest? I just saw a little part of the show and did not record it
Was it modeling chocolate or fondant? Was it covering a dowel? you know to support the top cake?

anyone??

I need help

If I remember right, it was made out of pastillage. HTH.

I would think it was wrapped around a dowel or pvc pipe.... I have that taped on my DVR right now so I can try to watch it and find out for you.

Do you think each finger was done individually or it was just one piece? if they were done individually how were they connected?

Ok, I watched it again last night... First of all she has a special stand made to look like the bones of an arm. It was black until they painted it and both pieces were curved like real bones so it couldn't have been regular dowels... I'd like to know what she made it out of! Anyway, then she made each finger on it's own wire and then taped all the wires together with white tape.

Hope this helps!

Why dont you email her and ask her? If she doesnt respond, maybe someone that works with her will.

I'm pretty sure it was a wire sculpted hand she then covered in fondant.

I think she carves the cake and makes certain features stick out more than others. Then covers them with extra fondant before she lays her fondant coating over the entire piece. She did that when she made Ursala in the Disney Villian Challenge.

Maybe some kind of strong metal?? I wonder if you could use copper tubing?

Just wanted to thank you all
