Over my head!!

[Amanda]

I agreed to to a Corpse Bride birthday cake for this Tuesday (11/9), and I CAN NOT make this @!(#* character to save my soul!! What was I thinking?!?!
I had the bright idea today that maybe I should just buy a couple of the action figures (yes, they make them) and stick them on the cake....but I don't know where I'd find such a think on such short notice.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks guys!!

Spooky Halloween Cake Ideas

or what about something a little simpler, like her:



Have you tried making her out of RKT yet? You can do it Amanda...and it will be splendid!

If you do want to purchase them (as I don't blame you if you've been trying to make them w/ little luck) try going to Hot Topix or Spencer's gifts, if you have those stores near you. Also, call around to your local Halloween costume stores to see if they carry the figurines. Maybe even call Toys R Us?

Good luck!

I have no idea where to get them that'd be fast enough for tuesday!!! But here's one that looks like it'd take an afternoon to make; you could make her out of chocolate clay; it'd be easier than fondant I think.

Amazon.com: Corpse Bride Series 1 Corpse Bride...

Not a figurine..but what about something like this?? Print out a photo of the bride and go to Michaels or something and look in their halloween clearance section for spooky frames or something that would work. Even some neat little stand you could glue the photo to.

I had a vision of a bride in a casket when I read your post.... All I can say is good luck with this one... guess if you screw up her face you can just say it's rotting flesh

[LadyDZA]

Oh yay!!! Glad you aren't stressing about it anymore.

Try the Toys R Us or party stores. Ace of Cakes did a life sized one last week. She was lying down.
