I am making a cake for my husbands birthday that looks like a tool box. I want to have the lid open like the picture attached, but I don't know how to go about fixing it to the cake. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

I can't help but want to see what others say!

Hiya, I havent made one like this but have read about attatching tricky things like this!! I think alot of people use rods/ dowling through the lid right through the cake?? Im more than sure there is a topic on this kind of thing and someone will point you in the direction of it!! - Would like to see it when it is finished

I haven't done it myself, but asked a similar question when looking to make a gift box cake for Christmas. It was suggested to use foam for the lid covered in fondant, then use dowels through an angled piece of foam to prop it open. Did you want it all the way open, or will partially open do?

I don't know the right answer onthis, but I do know that if you use dowels really close to the edge of your cake that you can blow out the side of your cake. Voice of experience. So, I would love to hear the right way.

I'm not sure how you would do all the way open properly, so hopefully someone else will chime in!!
