You did a fabulous job!!! How did you make the lid to the box?

Thanks!! Cover the cake with fondant. Measure another piece of fondant out to cover cake plus about an inch. Cut this second piece of fondant out. Cut about a 1" square from the corners. Put over cake and pinch the corner pieces together. Then I dabbed a tiny bit of water to seal corners together. Then I eyeballed the 1" hangover and straightened/cut with angled spatula where it needed it.
