Skyward Sword: Scrapper Cake

This is cake I've been wanting to try for a while now. I'm not sure why I specifically wanted to make Scrapper first since he is close to being my least favourite character in the whole game, but he just screamed cake to me. That's probably not a normal thought, right? His little body just seemed perfectly shaped for it. Although his massive hat and tiny wheel makes him very top-heavy, so that was a challenge.

He's made of almond buttercake, layered and crumb-coated in vanilla buttercream. He's then covered in fondant

He did have hands, which I made on wire, but they were too heavy and as soon as I put them in they started to fall, so I got rid of them before they ripped the whole cake. I've never used wire in a cake before (I hate including inedible components) so that's something I will have to work on should I ever have cause to make this cake again.
