Hi from Spain. Here is a little challenge for me (I'm new here and in cake decorating too).

I'm planning to bake a cake like a podium for a slot club and I would like to put an edible version of the Parma controller on top. A Parma controller is something like this (on the photo), only the plastic part: I'd like to make it in an edible version, with a golden touch, like a trophy. It must be lightweight too because it must be on top of the step 1 of the podium (the winner's step).

You can see a real trophy like the one I wan to make in a edible version in this photo:

I hope you understand what a mean, my english is not good enough I'm afraid. Kisses from the other side of the ocean.

Thank you in advance.

If you are wanting it to stand up I would put a rice krispie treat on a dowel rod and shape it, cover it with fondant then paint it with vodka and gold dust. Was not sure if you want it to stand up or lay on something else.

Yes, I want it to stand up, you're right. I thought that rice krispie treat would work but I've never worked on it so I'm not sure about the results. In fact, I knew about RKT last friday for the first time. Is it true that they must be eaten the same day you make them? I would like to be able to do this "edible trophy" some days in advance...

Thanks.

I would think it would be fine for several days. Press it together really tight when you form it and it should be ok.

Thank you very much for all. I will tray with RKT covered in MMF.

I hope it works!
