Has Anyone Done A 3-D Tree Cake??

Ooops...Shouldn't have added cake in the title...
I need to make some trees for a halloween cake... I wanted the trees to be able to sit on a cake board covered it fondant. I was thinking of making the trees out of wire and then covering it with gumpaste, but I'm having a hard time figuring out to make them so I can stand them up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I've only done evergreen type trees which are made with a ice cream cone base and covered with tip 352 leaves. I've not tried a "real tree" with branches and limbs.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm looking to make a scary looking tree with branches and no leaves on it. The kind you might see in a scary graveyeard...
Thanks again!!
You can do it using chocolate clay. I did similar trees recently for a jungle cake. You can do the main trunk and put it in the fridge for 5 minutes. You can then add branches one at a time and refrigerate it as necessary.

OK what was the idea? I have been watching this thread for the answer because I wanted to know the same thing.
Help a girl out... (please)
Ok here an idea I dont kow if it will work but ....just thinking out loud what if you get a "hidden piller"
so that way you can run the wires thru it... and coat with fondant or gum paste.....the wires on the bottom can be spread out as roots so that it can stand for your base....the tops of the wire can have leaves added in fall colors or any color or even bare as branches for the scary look! hope this helps....
