re: Anyone for a makeover?

Hi PomPomCakes,
Can I ask you how did you make the top?
Is polystyrene? Or cardboard?
How did you set it off? I think with pegs or long toothpicks, but how did you do to not reduce the thickness or length respect the base of cake?
You cut a little bit to the inside bottom corners resting on the cake?
I don’t know if I explain well my question!
I hope you can help me because I have to make a cake similar to yours, and I don’t know how to fix the problem of cover top … are days that I’m going crazy and I don’t know what to think more!
Thanks in advance for the help but, if you don’t want to confiding the " your secrets", it’s ok just the same … I understand it!… but I hope it is not so … I really need help!
