You could use freeze-dried fruits.
In Australia and NZ people rely heavily on stake/center pole, and dowels only as auxiliary support. Of course their cakes are usually mud cakes and very heavy. Some people hot glue the pole, others have a whole system going on with a screw in the center. Most of the time, this goes on for any cake two tiers and up.
Martha Stewart had once a house made out of cake. The roof was just a square cake cut in triangles. Not sure if you can use that idea or not, depending on how big your house is going to be. It's an old magazine. I found a mention and a scan in this thread. You could make it more square.
howsweet...she's not the granddaughter, she's the daughter-in-law. It's her mother-in-law they're talking about.
Actually here it is.
In this thread I put a link to icing plug instructions. It might be easier that way.
Here they also have bags.
Why don't you try to find if you have gum tragacanth? Or try the other gums on half the recipe to see which one works? I think you can find the others.
They're painted. She's at the other cake site. This is what she said:   This is my second silhouette cake and my favourite cake to date that i have made, I searched the internet for pictures i wanted to use and then i hand drawn the pictures onto the cake. My inspiration for this cake were the shadow dancers “Attraction” This years BGT winners.   If you google "forever in love" "Meddussa" (in separate quotes like that), you'll find her.
 Thank you, MBalaska. I think that's the same link Shanter posted on the other thread? Let me know how the ordering goes. I got so busy at work that I haven't had time to think about it. Good thing you're reminding me! I'll make a note of it. I had found a place that cut them to size, and I had a template drawn to see what I could get from a sheet but it was so expensive! These are cheap.
