Don, I did a cake once by pre-building the "slices" and lofting them and then using a combination of texture and bump maps, made the frosting show some depth. This approach worked well because we didn't have to fliy too close to the cake in the animation and it still allowed us to cut the cake with a knife and move pieces around. I hope this helps, you may just have to experiment with the materials editor. Jim Beyer
