Please help!!!!! I have a request for a 3d motorcycle cake and am stuck on how to do the support system. Can anyone give me some suggestions? TIA

I know that my reply comes a bit late, but I have done one now and i thought i would reply because it may help anyone else that searches for input on how to do one. Ok.... so first you need a base frame work constructed preferably out of wood and a piece of flat wood for the base instead of a cake board this allows you to screw your frame and support into the board allowing for strong support that will not allow the bike to move or fall over.

That is the main difficulty is getting it to stand up by its self. the rest is a matter of sculpting and fondant work, a large cooler, and some dowel rods for the main front forks of the bike.

this is a picture of the one that i did! it was a screaming eagleHarley Davidson cake

Thank you SO MUCH for posting the reply and the video. The client changed her mind and went with another type of cake, but my husband would love this cake....maybe I'll do it for him sometime in the future

how did you make the hande bars? I made mine out of gumpaste and when I went to put them on the bike they broke, and I made them a week ahead.... I wish I could do this for my son, because I ruined his birthday cake in April, t rying a motorcycle cake

I had a metal rod in mine that i bent, i also used a few pieces of florist wire, and then covered it in fondant since the front wasnt going to be eaten, yo9u can use wire in there for extra support.

I wish I could see the contruction of the base.......I am not much of a carpenter

This was just what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this.

Unfortunately utube is completely blocked here, would appreciate some pictures, if anyone has them
