Need Help To Figure Out Support System For This Cake
Decorating By sameera Updated 8 Jun 2010 , 1:46am by Karen421
I don't have a clue but I wanted to say that I just love that cake. I hope to be brave enough to try something like that one of these days. 
I believe doug just answered a post the other day on cakes stacked like that. dang. let me go check and see if I saved the tutorial and I'll post it here for you..
edited to add: YES !! found it.. I knew it was on here very recently. http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=583854&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=offset&&start=0
actually pay attention to the answer I gave on page TWO of the thread tesso posted
this is one of those cake challenge cakes (disney - alice in Wonderland?)
and they usually do the PVC pipe type armatures.
so here's my stab at how they did it >>
notes
- there might be a third plate at top of watermelon)
- yes, need that big extension to the side to keep it from toppling over.
Thank you guys for your suggestions. What I am most worried about is the water melon. If that is a cake then it must be heavy and a cake that heavy why doesn't it tear apart by it's own weight. If I try to make it I'll put a car (Ford Probe) that my cousin is obsessed with. Or should I just use a sponge cake for the car and no filling inside. hmmm.........

Thanks Doug for your quick reply with the possible inside structural diagram. But I am still confused about the plates, I mean we don't see any plates or anything in the original picture, so, did they hid the plates inside the cakes and if they did how is it possible because the watermelon is curved and the plate is obviously flat. Please help me understand.

plates are sized just like cakeboards -- JUST big enough to fit under cake without showing.
for watermelon -- yep it would be small and the watermelon would be overhanging just like with pillow cakes. As long as the overhang isn't too big it shouldn't be a problem. (and I wonder if watermelon isn't RKT)
