I am making an 11x15 birthday cake. There will be a mini-bear (3D) on one corner as the smash cake. What can I use so that the smash cake is removable, without having it mess up the cake when they move it?
I was thinking of a cake separator, but was wondering it you all had any ideas or opinions...
You could put a small cardboard under the bear and just put a border around it... just tell them to lift it off the corner for the baby to do it's smash thing with... I'd suggest if you use a cake board under the cake that you sprinkle just a bit of confectioner's sugar under it so it won't stick to the icing. HTH 
I do what Cheryl just said and I use a dowel to stabilize it.
Glad to see you on ntertayneme.
Just wanted to let you know that you cost me a $10.00 bet on your user name.
After everyone, me included, couldn't guess how to pronounce your name, I bet my neice that she couldn't and I gave her 10 seconds to do it...well, she looked @ it and gave the correct answer. 
hahahaha too funny Stephanie! My daughter's friend guessed it in a few seconds.. my daughter like to have never worked it out .. I had to tell her "what did you tell me you wanted me to do with you on the computer?" .. then she said awwwww yes, entertain me!! It took my hint for her to guess it lol
and yes, I'm with Stephanie, I'd dowel under the mini bear to add stablization to it
Thanks traci ! It's great to be back ..
pooker, good luck with your cake and post pics of it for us to see when you're finished!
Tried your MMF for the first time on my Barbie and liked it...have to get use to it.
Thanks everyone! The cake is in the oven now! 
I think I'm going to stick with the separator plate...the other sounds ok, but it makes me nervous since its a paid cake for a first bday.
A question...since it's a mini 3D bear pan, and I'm using a 6inch separator plate, do you think I still need to use dowel rods?
I've got some, but didn't know if it would be overkill or not...
Good luck on the cake!
ntertayneme, That's funny about your name. I think I called you
"net ter name" for like six months before I figured it out!
I would definitely use 4 dowel rods. You could also cover a board with fondant and put the bear on that. Just a thought.
