I'm making a 1st birthday cake for a friend, and it's going to be a 3D bear (wilton pan) on top of a 10 or 12 inch round. What's the best way to stack a 3D cake on top of a round? I'm not an expert on stacking so I thought I would come and ask the pros 
I've been searching for tutorials but all I'm finding is stacking tiered round or square cakes.
Thanks in advance!
Put the bear cake on a cake board (shape the board to fit the bottom of the bear). place 5-6 dowels in a circle about 1 - 2 inches apart (depending how big the bear is). this will prevent the bear cake crushing the cake under it. To prevent it from tipping, put a long center dowel through the bear cake and the cake under it.

Thats how I would do it as well.
It also helps to put your cakes in the fridge until they are cold prior to stacking, this will make the icing hard and cut down on fingerprints and smudges.Good Luck and Happy Caking
Thank you, all of you! I knew I could count on my fellow CCers
