This cake is amazing, a real work of art. Everything looks so realistic - I cannot believe the nuts are not real nuts.

absolutley amazing!!!

I made the almonds by hand and dusted them with cinnamon. The walnuts are made with a homemade silicon mold and dusted with cocoa. The pistachios are also made with a mold i made! Thanks so much everybody!!!!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!

Oh my gosh-- I hope you guys know that the meat part of each nut is real nut and the shell s are the part I made!! I figured a nut is edible except for the shell! ...... sorry if this was deceptive!

I hope you win because you deserve it!!! Excellent work - great detail
