Subject: flying ice cream cones

Hi everyone;
 
I have a client who is opening a small ice cream stand
next month, and she wants a clown outside, with an
ice cream cone overhead.  The clown I have no problem with, but
am wondering about flying the cone........  I can use a 3-foot for
the "scoop" of ice cream on top, but directly underneath
will be small clusters of 5" balloons (underinflated) to depict
the "overflow" on top of the cone.  Also the cone will have to
be downsized as it graduates to the bottom...... So, my question
is, since the 5" balloons will be air inflated, does anyone have a 
good guess as to whether the 3 footer  will provide enough lift to 
keep the entire cone floating for about 5 days?  Has anyone made 
a flying cone?  :)
 
It would be much easier to go with mylars for the cone, but the only ones
I can find have "Happy Birthday" on them.  :(
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
