I have a last minute request to make a lawnmower cake for a 60th birthday. The gentleman is a landscaper and the family would really love this if I can manage to make it. I have ideas on the bottom (cake) part but am stumped on what to use for the long handles. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary

how big is it going to be? etiher way i personally would use gumpaste cose that dries hard and strong

I agree, gumpaste is the way to go. Best of luck!!

I made a Snapper push mower cake years ago... DH made the handle out of wire coat hanger and covered with aluminum foil, then he attached it to the board by wrapping the wire ends around screws in the base board.

PVC pipe.

Can I wrap the PVC wipe with fondant and stick it into the cake?

Thanks Doug.......I'll try to get the contractor hubby to help me, I'll post pics.
