Wow - that is just perfect, all the details are so incredibly well done. Is it actually a cake or a dummy inside the toybox?

I love your Toy box. How did your floor? In the past I have mixed different colour fondant to get the wood grain effect but I really like yours.

Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful comments. I used a pizza cutter and a ruler to cut the fondant. I covered my board in ivory fondant, used a thin dowel to make the boards, and a veining tool to mark the fondant to look like woodgrain. I don't have an airbrush, so I painted the floor using ivory americacolor, mixed in Everclear. I would paint the floor, let it dry and give it another coat until I got the color I wanted. I won Grand Prize for the Divisional Show and Decorators Choice.
