I am brand new to sculpting cakes and have an awesome idea for a mountain themed cake....but I'm not sure how to tackle it and need some advice! I've been reading some of the "how to's" but haven't come across anything yet....
TIA for the help!

BTW- I am in awe of the supportiveness of everyone on this site and overwhelmed by everyone's talent!!!! I am soooo happy to have found this site

Thanks JanH! It's a ski hill I'm making for a work Christmas party...someone mentioned in the CC link you provided that there was a tutorial on CC somewhere, but they couldn't remember where....do you know?
Thanks again for all of your help!!
