In community album: Past Contest Winners

Packed up and ready for school

This fondant covered cake took three 12 in square cakes divided in half and one 8 in square for the front pocket. The teddy bear, pencils, and scissors are fondant. The board is a foam board covered in fondant and painted to look like the top of a school desk. <b><img src=trophy.gif align=absmiddle>2005 Back To School Contest Winner</b>

WOW! When I saw your entry, I knew you would win. Will you share how you did those pencils? They are AWESOME!

Thanks for the comments. The key to the pencils is a clay gun that I got from Michaels. I used it for the yellow part of the pencil. The other parts I rolled by hand. I let each part dry. I used an exacto knife to make marks in the gray part. Then attached them together.

Is this not the most precious cake...

Amazing cake!! If you don't mind answering, I was wondering, on average, how much a cake like this would cost? I hope to, someday, open a specialty cake business and I was just wondering how much I would be able to make off an amazing [time-consuming], beautiful cake like this (but not this one, because I would never try to copy anyoen or anything!)...if I ever become this good. LoL.
