I spent much time surfing the NET for ideas and decided to go for something simple and yet appealing to men. A Pirate's treasure chest. Filled with chocolate gold coins.
Baking the cake was easy. Its constructing it and making the final touches that took me some time to get it right. In the process, I learnt new things about assembling this cake.
Like which section to start first, how to assemble all the parts and how to make the coins look like its bursting from the box.
Overall, hubby said the gold trimmings look like real. the wood finish look almost like wood too. I just did some marbling effect on brown gel on white fondant.
In 2 weeks time, I have re-constructed this again. But it will be round, in the shape of girlie's musical box for Melody's 10th Birthday party! Wish me luck! I need lots of it..and I hope the weather is hot so that the fondant dries up really well.
up close and personal...

thank you for dropping by my blog. It has no recipes here..only thoughts and my ramblings. I already have KC which is a treasure trove of recipes. There is a saying or proverb I once saw in a gift shop and it says 'Love isn't Love till you give it away'. :)
Hey Gina, nice looking treasure chest, I'm sure it's full of treasure and lots of love.
