Mickey Mouse Cake.
This is an absolutely enormous cake, too bad I cannot have people next to it to show the scale. The bottom tier is a 14" round, Mickey's body is Wondermold + 9" round. Head is melted candy melts poured in the Mickey cake pan. Hands are cookies. Got the idea from Wilton's '06 yearbook but had to come up with my own construction as I did not have access to the materials needed.
what a great cake it must be huge, looks like lots of hard work well done
Very cool. I could never get the hang of the candy melts in the wilton pans.
Love at first sight! Your work on this cake is fantastic and I love it!! Awesome in every way! :)
GREAT CAKE !! What a GOOD job .... How in the world do you get the candy melts to UN-mold from the pan ?
Excellent job! Congratulations!!! ;-D
great job very cute!
I'll bet it weighed a ton too. How did you support the head? Really cute cake and design.
wow, so cute! great job! I too am wondering how you supported it all...going in my faves...
Very cute, How did you manage to move the cake, I am planning to make this cake next month and I want to know how did you move the cake from one destination to another ...also please let me know the process of candy melting to a cake pan
Great job! I've made this cake too and you truly cannot appreciate the size unless someone is next to it as you said! Could you believe how freak'n heavy the head was! How did you keep your cookie hands from spinning around? I had to make mine from paper! It's in my photos!
OMG!! This is fabulous!!
incredible job!!
Thank you all for your very nice comments. I have PM'd the details regarding the head, if anyone else needs them just send me a PM. Cambo, I did see your cake in the galleries, it is great! I attached the hands /arms after arriving at the party, don't think it would have made it otherwise. If I get bored I may sit down and calculate how heavy it was, the head and fondant alone is over 10lb!
Very nice! :D
What an amazing job you did. It's so adorable. Love this cake.
Great Job!! I'm going to try this.
OMG, I just made this cake last week and it was first "paid" disaster. After I made the head and realized how heavy it was, I couldn't imagine how it be supported, so I decided to make it out of rice krispy treats....and they melted!!! It was horrible. I had to refund the $$$. So...how did you support the head????!!!! :o
Berl, I "glued" the head on to a thick dowel with candy melts, and then the dowel went through the entire cake. I did not think it would work either because the head is so heavy, but amazingly it does work.

I just can't believe it could be supported. I didn't even want to try and risk ruining the entire cake by having it come crashing down on it. I'm glad it worked for you. You are WAY more brave than I. I just threw the head out cause I didn't want to be reminded of it! lololol Thx for the info. :-D
I just love the Mickey....great work :)
