Make a cake look like a human head?

I want to make a cake look like a head on a platter. I can not find any preformed molds for making it a way I can build the cake form the head. what is a good cake recipe that will make the cake securely for carving?

I really have to be very artistic to do this.Would the neck support the head, probably not. The best way to go would have the face looking upward. I have done so before. A round cake and a very strong marzipan knife.plus shaping.You intricate probably get away with a sponge (Victoria).
