This cake was for a dessert auction at my church. Chocolate cake with buttercream icing, covered in fondant. Animals and people made with fondant. Water is royal icing. To make the wood, I made four different colours (brown, light brown, cream and black) into ropes, twisted them together, kneaded into a ball and rolled out, then cut into strips and then into individual boards. I covered the cake with a thin layer of fondant so the boards would have something to stick to.
