So I've never done: a 3d cake, a tall cake, cake carving, or used dowels. This is ALL cake, fondant, buttercream and royal icing. Other than the fondant peaving me off on the tank, I'm relatively happy. I LOVED my toilet paper...wish I had a better/close up of it. With the little indent shells it looked almost real. My friend's reaction made it all worth while - she was overjoyed! Special thanks to SJK for your help! Thanks to the others who sent help too, unfortunately I didn't get it in time, but I'll definitely use the info for my next one-thanks!
