That cake is AWSOME. I did one for my daughter and it was small and covered in buttercream. How I would love to do a large on in fondant. I have done a few Darth Vader cakes covered in fondant.

this guy is in another universe!! my jaw is on the floor-first the imagination and know-how just to concieve that you could do that and then the doing part (and that was the second time-i bet he did it faster or better or tweaked it somehow)!! mind-blowing- i would just love to sit there and watch and soak it all in...hmmm

does anyone have a rice krispies recipe? When I did my pillow cake with the bottle on top, the bottle was rice krispies but when they would get room temp, they would get soft and droop.

I wonder if you could shape/cut the rice krispie using a heated knife to get very smooth, sharp edges... icon_rolleyes.gif

My guess is he used a router like used in woodworking and very dry firm RK treats.

My son must never ever see this cake. He would flip out, and then want me to recreate it! Beautiful work!
