Cardboard was used for the eyes and hands. I didn’t personally construct it but the eyes are just a teardrop shaped cutouts, wrapped in cardboard, and then taped. Then it was painted with acrylics. I would try a few prototypes out with some cereal boxes, those are cheap and readily available. Then if you want it to be sturdy, construct it out of corrugated cardboard but it would be obviously harder to bend.

For the arms, just try to construct a cardboard rectangle and score the cardboard using razor blades. As with the eyes, finish with tape

I think lychee used cardboard to put it together, but not too sure.

Love the Wall-E cake! It is the best I have seen. We are big Wall-E fans. I want to make one for my son’s 3rd birthday party in March. But, I am not very crafty. I think I can do the cake part, but do you mind revealing how specifically you made the arms and eyes for Wall-E. That would be very helpful. Thanks!

This looks delightful — and puts a new meaning on “sinfully delicious” since one would approach actually eating the cake with some feeling of sacrilege. ];-)

A bunch of “huge fans of WALL•E” are eyeballing your cake pictures right now, and I think all will be as pleased as I was. The timing is good; someone had recently done a WALL•E cake that looked not just terrible, but “horror-movie” disturbing. What a pleasure to get past that and see the little guy nicely done!

Best wishes — and check out the forum to find other very serious enthusiasts of the film, from directing to awards to the hard-core science behind the movie.

It’s a friendly place, much like your own kitchen — except that no one gets frosted. ];-)

Best wishes, and happy eating!
