This was the first cake I did. Ants were gumpaste as well as the checkered blanket. Cake was fondant with grass and flowers in fondant. Had originally but a RTK basket on top dipped in chocolate but it was EXTREMELY hot in our house (AC had broken) and the basket just ended up looking like a pile of doody on top of the cake- so I tossed it before our friends got here for the BBQ! ha ha
