By the time people were ready to eat it, the top parts were beginning to slip -- so that made cutting it into pieces a lot less painful. That, and the fact that we had pictures. From the time we assembled it until the time gravity began to take its toll (in spite of the dowels) was about five hours.
Thanks, gully, I think the village was certainly more
elaborate than anything we could have bought, but we spent so much in terms of time and materials, it ended up being so much more expensive all the way around than we imagined it would be. The really hard part was getting the walls to curve. That took a lot of tape and glue and holding on until the glue dried.
Michael, the green eggs and ham cake is an excellent idea. What Megan actually made was a tall red and white striped cake, like the Cat in the Hat's hat.
