thank you guys so much - you all are so great I think maybe I will go with the royal icing rim (but will probably wait a few more minutes to see if there are any other suggestions haha) I have some pieces of chalk drying right now
I think the teachers (or whomever this is for) are going to wet themselves.

It is for a ceremony that is being help for all the public schools in my city - like a teacher appreciation. I am doing this for the centerpiece and then doing full sheet cakes to serve 300. I just really want to impress because I just opened my own shop 6 months ago and this would be great exposure
Oh and since you have the red fondant made you could make a few small apples to place in front of your rule where you want to hide a boo boo.
I think that cake is fantastic, and I agree with the others who say don't do too much. Sometimes we just need to know when to stop.
And remember that others are not going to look for errors!
I have to admit I don't like the balls either. The cake is beautiful and what teacher wouldn't like it. I think I would add the writing on the chalkboard but other than I think it will be to busy and take away from the cake. You have a gift!

Maybe a fondant book or 2 to lean against the cake where you want to hide the boo-boos, but not too much! Or one or 2 apples like mom2seven said.
Remember there is almost always a "back" to your cake!
I love your cake and I think you did an awsome job on it.
Personally I would make smaller red balls for the bottom only. Another option would be to pipe or roll a very, very think bead of the black/grey on the bottom edge to hide everything which wouldn't detract from your beautiful rulers/tape measurers.
I love how there's a solid yellow line that shows at the top of the ruler and if you are worried that it isn't straight, take a straight edge or metal ruler and lay it horizontally on the top edge of your ruler to flatten it and straighten the whole thing that way.
I agree, I hink just a hint of lettering would be great and perhaps the chalk but keeping it simple is always the best.
Great job!
If you feel you have to straighten the rulers - use the black RI rim. No balls - too busy.
Just do the chalkboard writing and keep it simple - it is a fabulous cake!
My vote is for RI too!!
Beautiful cake!
Hey guys, okay i did the royal icing trim - it did not make a huge difference but for some reason it makes me feel better haha I will post the pic when it is done, i just finished the writing and not getting ready to apply the chalk and pencils woohoo
OMG, I´m speechless! I love everything about it, love the little pencils on the sides and the apple on the bottom tier, love it!!
You did a great job, congratulations!
This cake is in a class by itself. Honestly, I am normally not particularly impressed by fondant cakes-that includes the "big" names. However, this is the exception.
