Treasure Chest
This was my first attempt at a treasure chest (learned much). Chocolate cake iced in chocolate BC with fondant accents & the lid is made from rice crispy treats - thank you to the many treasure chest ideas on CakeCentral. In my husband's words, "I will charge much more for this cake next time." Thanks for looking!
Wow! Great job! It looks delicious too!
yes, great cake!!!
This looks awesome! My daughter wants a pirate bday...how did you get the lid to stand open? I would be grateful for any advice you can give.
It is supported by rods underneath that are hidden by the chocolate coins. I would definitely suggest placing the "lid" (whether cake or rice crispy) on it's own cake board & poke the rods through. I had some fracture issues b/c it just wasn't supported enough. Also, I'd give yourself plenty of time & let each piece (top & bottom) set up in the fridge before joining them. Have fun! Mine was definitely a learning experience, but I was proud of the outcome!
