I made a 12" bottom and 8" top. The head is made from 2 half circle cakes using my Betty Crocker Bake N Fill dome pan. Arms, hands, feet and present are made w/rice crispy treats. The cake is covered in a mixture of candy clay and fondant. My house is very dry, so it did dry out and crack. The only all-fondant is the white eyeballs and the rest is made with candy clay. I used the Wilton sugar sheets in black for the black in the eyes and the mouth. I will say that was much easier than tinting fondant and cutting it out. The stuff doesn't taste worth a darn, but makes it easy to do little things like this.
Thankfully the cake traveled well and made the 1 hour drive to the party. With my husband's driving and bumps in the road, I was worried! The only piece I didn't put on until we got there was the present and the #2.
