re: Internal cake support/ structure

Hi Chantelle. If I were going to make a 3d olaf, I would first choose a nice large cake board. About 15-16" round. Then I would drill a hole in the centre a touch smaller than my cake dowel (you get plastic ones from any good cake shop). Then cover my board with fondant (if you want it covered, it does look nicer), and mark where your drill hole is, leave overnight to dry. For extra support you can glue 2 thick cake drums together, then once your dowel is inserted its going nowhere! Dip your dowel in a little royal icing before inserting, this will ‘glue’ it in. Then start to layer your cake and carve to desired shape. Carefully line up the centre of your cake on top of the dowel and let it slide on, keeping it as vertical as possible. Cover the usual way with fondant and I would make my head from rice krispy treats, you will find a recipe for this if you search on here, youtube or google. Hope this help you, and Ive not rambled on xx
