that is amazing. Do you just add cocoa to your fondant or do you buy it premade?

Oh WOW! That is a COOL grooms cake! Did you use toothpicks in the strawberries to get them to stay put? I absolutely LOVE it!

thanks for the lovely compliments, the strawberries smelled so good when we put it together that my business partner and I were starving:) maisza, the lid is just made out of fondant and dried on a sq. pan the size of the cake, when it was dry enough to hold the shape (approx. 2 days) I took it off the pan so it could finish drying. Swingme83 I get my premade choc fond. from Satin Ice; kerrierichards, actually all the strawberries were placed so carefully on top of each other that they didn't need...

toothpicks, I think I used toothpicks for approx. 5 of them on the side of the cake.

My granddaughter is getting married next year, and this is definitely an idea for her fiance's groom cake.
