My son last moment changed his cake request to Wall-e. I would like to do a 3d one. I have never used styrofoam or pvc pipe, and from some of the pics on here and post, that one of the suggestions for making this cake.

So I bought styrofoam to carve the eyes, and I have rice krispie treats. I am wondering how I make the neck. Where would I get PVC pipe and it is safe to put directly in a cake?

Thanks!
Kim

I would get one of the large round plastic cake dowels and cover it in Rice Krispie Treats.

I used PVC pipe and rice krispies for the neck. FYI-fondant won't stick to PVC pipe alone-you need something else to attach it with.
