One idea I had with the words "full cake" was like one of those fake cakes that a woman pops out of... but maybe the woman could fare to lose a few pounds. haha user added image

thanks, that was mainly a test to do the iceing. I think that i will moddel some of it but do the rest of it using a displacement map.

i thought of this someguy when i read yours ...most cakes have some decoration like cars , people , animals , candles. you can make things like that with candles driving , wedding cake with the wedding people battling it out ...or make ice monster attacking the wedding people lol ...you get the idea ...

or a layered cake and people running away from monster and fighting it off with candles from the cake and one in a little car sliding on the icying on top layer and falling to there death lol ..and the final cake monster at the top eating people hence full cake lmao

hahha no i dont hate weddings lmao

i was thinking about including people at the top and my brother suggested having a candle fall on them so that they are on fire.
If i have the time i might use your idea if it is alright

nice start to the modelling some guy user added image

It'd be nice to creep more of the 'full' into the cake. I thought that the cake could be so full that it could be quite rounded and about to explode. user added image

I think it'd be awesome if you are able to make a little scene with this, like have the huge cage on a table with a little kid with a birthday hat on starting up at it in fear. haha user added image

Looking good!
