The body is all cake, head is styrofoam covered in fondant/gumpaste, arms are pvc pipe covered in RKT then fondant/gumpaste, hands are cardboard: the cake was vanilla w/strawberry filling in whipped cream and all the little details are fondant/gumpaste. All together he stood about 19" tall and about 7" wide. This was my first standing cake and glad it came out. My son loved it, it was for his 9th bday.
