Farm Cake

Farm cake done for a one-year -olds birthday. I can't begin to tell you how much work went into this cake (sometimes it sucks to have friends that ask for cakes!). All the animals & veggies are fondant. The pond is piping gel. The barn is graham crackers stuck together with royal icing, "sanded" to the appropriate shape and covered in fondant. Lots of work but well worth having a happy friend.

The whole thing was remarkably easy. The boards are nothing more than strips of fondant with lines randomly created with a sharp knife. The "nail holes" are just from a toothpick that i had broken in two. The marks on the shingles were from a meat tenderizer.....don't laugh, I was desperate. Take any ideas you'd like....that's what they're there for....right?
