I have a request for a 3-D cake shaped as a skull wearing a chef's toque. Don't know where to start or how to support it. HELP!!

How about making the skull from RKT with supports hidden inside and make the toque the cake... and if you need more servings then add a bottom layer under the skull. That way you can incredible detail that looks like it wouldn't support the toque made of cake, but will.

wilton sports ball cake. curve into the skull and cover with fondant. toque cake can then be added on
