Hi everybody, I know this is a wierd request, but does anybody know how to make a scull from gumpaste (or anything )? Or is there a place that I can purchase one of these?

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks

Bashini.

I did a pink cake with a scull and crossbones on it. It is in my photos. I used candy melts and made a transfer. You can find images of scull and crossbones on-line and just enlarge one to the size you need and you could even do a frozen buttercream transfer if you are not comfortable with the candy melts. Hope this helps.

How big of a skull do you need?

I did a large one from a styrofoam head covered in royal icing. I'm sure you can do the same basic thing on a smaller scale with rice krispy treats.

Thanks for the replies. Ok, there is this bride, who wants a cake topper with the groom holding a scull on his palm of the hand. Like he is doing a speech or something. She wants the groom to be wearing trainers as well.

And the bride to be standing just behind him with arm crossed ( hope you understand what I'm trying to say ) and with a not happy facial expression.

She has taken this whole scene from Shakespears, Macbeth book (I'm not sure though) . So I need a quite small one.

So you just need a little tiny skull?

That would be pretty easy to make...

you should be able to sculpt this out of a small ball of fondant. since its so tiny it won't nee be to very detailed... hollow out & blacken the eye sockets and little black dots for the "nose socket"? and then a line or 2 for teeth/jaw area... again, since its to be SOO small, the need for detail is greatly diminished. can't wait to see it.

Thanks butterflywings for the idea. I'll have ago at that.

Thanks to all of you!
