Ok let me see if I can explain myself.
I am making a 2 layer 9x13 sheet cake and I am also making a "volcano" with the wonder mold pan.
I don't want to put the volcano on top but at the end of the sheet, I am going to cut off a corner of the sheet cake to where the volcano will fit up next to it like a puzzle. Does this make any since?
My problem is the 2 layer sheet cake is going to be about 3.5-4 inches tall, the volcano is going to be really short compared to it. I could bake a 8 inch round to set it on but I really don't need that much cake, I also really don't feel like baking anymore, I'm ready to start decorating tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the volcano taller??
Why don't you leave the corner on the sheet cake and support the volcano with a few dowels?
I really don't want to try and transport it like that and my idea will have to be completly changed, plus I'll have to go buy more stuff and I am short on time. I would really prefer it to be next to it instead of on top.
when I said I don't need that much cake meant I didn;t need the extra servings a 8 in round would give me, I need the amount that the 2 layer 9x13 will provide!
Thanks though!
or if you have time to get a 8 in round styrofoam the put under the volcano and dowel it you can ice it along with the cake and have good level support

I had thought of this, and I use to have one, I no longer have it and there is no place in the town that I live in to get one
I may be jumping in on this too late, but if time permits, I always fall back on RKT (as you mentioned above) to mold / heighten objects when I don't need a cake filler. I'm just not sure you have enough time now for the krispies to harden to support the volcano.
Heck... if you will be attending the party, you could even use the cake pan (turned upside down) and cover w/ fondant as support. I've never tried this but may be a quick fix for your problem!!
Good Luck!

I think I might just do the rice crispies, I will be at the party,it's my son's b-day! But I am not using fondant, my family doesn't like the texure, and I have to say I really don't either, I usually only use it for accents.
Thanks for all the ideas.
If anyone has any more let me know, I have until about 7:30 tonight to figure something out!
