Hershey's Kiss Cake

My Mom is the world's biggest chocoholic so I made her a giant Hershey's kiss birthday cake. This was my first attempt at sculpting a cake although I didn't have to carve much. It came out okay, but had some consistency problems with my buttercream so not as smooth as I would have liked. I also couldn't get the darn fondant "paper" to stand up. Gumpaste may have been a better idea...

Thanks for the compliments! HeatherDawn - I used an 8" by about 1.5" for the bottom and then a wondermold topped off with a cupcake and carved a bit to get more of a curve on the sides.
