This was modeled by many cakes on this site... thanks for the idea & inspiration! I made this for my cousin's 2nd birthday & it was HUGE! Minnie's head was 12in and ears were 8in... which made for a Mammoth Minnie Mouse! It's all buttercream, except for the eyes and polka dots on the side are fondant. The bow is regular ribbon... haven't tried one in fondant yet! :-)
