Thank You! richiescakes for answering all my questions!!, 3 10X10 cakes cut in half and layered between 2 boards, it was like 3 cakes on top of each other, I screwed a dowel into the board and them slip the cakes over it, it was very sturdy. Buttercream with fondant accents, next time I would use gumpaste for the arms and legs they were to soft. This cake was alot of fun to make..TFL
