I made spiderman head ahead of time....problem is I put it on a dowel rod and balanced the head on a vase....now............how am I going to get the head off there and onto the cake without messing it all up??????? Is there a way to get out of how I painted myself into a corner

Move it very gently

slide 2 off set spatulas (get someone to assist you) right under and LIFT! carefully...
HTH

yes but.....lol.......your gonna love this..........you know the thick plastic dowels you can cut to support tiers...well I stuck one up inside this dang head........ahhhhhhhhh......thought it was a good way to hold it up and pipe haha now I am in doodoo....

Can you set it in the freezer just long enough for it to get "firm"? Then it might move more easily. This really sounds like something I would do

well I have it in the fridge..........don't know that that will help alot...I feel so stupid lol................sheesh

Shove skewers into his eyes and lift him off. Then cover the small holes with R/I.

HTH

No, not stupid. Excited to continue to the next step! We have all done it...

SO????? I am on pins and needles.... let us know how it went...
BTW: Awesome work!

thanks lol.......shove skewers in his eyes, lol hope he doesnt hit me hahaha...........great idea Jan thanks a million...thats gonna work....yeeha

Good luck.

Okay, I must ask.... is his head made of cake? I'm very impressed! Nice Spiderman! Hope it works out

No darn it. Its styrofoam....all the ones on here that looked great were stro, so I went with that....thanks

It's not normally a good idea to stick your head in a vase
Could you just not place your fingers inbetween the black piping around the base and lift gently? I think stiking skewers in your eyes is a good answer but as it is only styrofoam lifting from the bottom might be easier to repair.

Please let us know..... how did you get it off?

ok here it i hehe thhanks for the help

May have to break the vase.

Ok, so don't really do that. I'd to with scrummymummy's advice.

actually I did both...skewer in the eye and held the bottom a bit,,,it was stuck on the vase heheh had no choice....and then I repaired it.you guys are awesome thanks

now if you could give me courage to try a motorcycle cake ugh

GREAT cake!

I would LOVE to see a motorcycle cake a la Madge!

I am thinking about it lol
