I would never put fondant on a caked iced in cream cheese or whipped icing.  The "decorator's cream cheese icing" on this site is more stable as it is a cream cheese flavored butter cream...but your regular cream cheese...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....I didn't know they wanted the pillow all by itself!! Well...........that changes things.    Maybe if there is other "stuff"on the board around the pillow so it doesn't look so lonely...........and small!...

I did a 6x6 on a 10" round.  Dang that posted bit..  Anyway...I cheated on the crown and bought it...but you can see the size of the crown in regards to the pillow.    Because I did some carving, it fit on the 10"...

That looks like a full size doll.     I don't use the wilton doll cake pan when I do doll cakes.   I bake a 6/7/8. I take a cookie cutter and cut a circle hole out of each center that is just big enough for the...
