Skateboard Graduation Cake

My nephew asked for a "white cake with a skateboard on it" for his graduation cake. I made this sidewalk with ramp and chocolate skateboard for him. The ramp is a dummy covered in fondant. The sidewalk top is fondant and the diploma and flags are gumpaste. The skateboard is ENTIRELY edible--made of chocolate with pretzel rod axels. The only inedible items on the cake are the necklace on the skateboard and the wooden dowels holding the flags.

I made the skateboard by creating an acetate template of a real, but small, skateboard. I made an acetate rim to go around the board template an taped them together. I sat that on the real board and poured in chocolate. I took the wheels and axels apart so that I could make molds of the axels in play-doh. I cast chocolate in those. I covered the pretzel rods with chocolate and cored out chocolate covered Oreos for the wheels. I glued things together with melted chocolate.If you need more info, PM me.
