Nope, that one was about how to carry the damn things. This one is entirely different.

>>I'm working on a cake in the next week, and the problem I'm having is that due to the amount of time it will take, I need to make the top design now, but the actual cake in about 5 days. I'm trying to think of something not too hard to cut, and edible, that can be used as a base for the top, that I can then slide onto the cake. I will probably use a piece of sheet metal to move the top to the cake, but I still need something to build the top on in the 5 days prior to that. The top is a country village, so I'm expecting some amount of repairs will need to be done to it after the move, if only because it will be created on a flat surface, and the cake top will be slightly rounded. The real problem is that it needs to be stiff enough to move reasonably easy, but still be edible and able to be cut when it's time to eat. Any ideas anyone?
