This was donated to Books 2 Eat for the Organization for literacy. It was one of several cakes entered into a contest for our local bakeries. I am pleased to say that my cake won! The board is covered in fondant. As well as the cakes.
This is one of the best treasure themed cakes I've ever seen. You did an excellent job! I know you said the board is fondant, but how did you get it so realistic?
Thank you for the nice compliments. The board was first covered with a tan colour fondant. I scored the planks outline and then scored detail lines into it and used a round tip to create the nail holes. I then rubbed brown colour into the tan fondant and wiped away the excess.
Wow, of course you won! The entire display is great.
Your cake is unbelievable. Wow!!! :o
