Gauley River Rafting Cake

I did this cake in a 6" and 10" rd. The river was done in RI and the trees were done in fondant. I have to thank cakesbyanh for all her help with the river and the trees. Characters and boat done in fondant also.

Really nice, I love the trees, the river has great texture and I love that shade of green with the brown, nice job

Amazing cake, I love the reaction on the guy's faces. How did you make the trees? Are the trunks in fondant and the leaves in RI?

Thanks so much; jouj I got my tree directions from cakesbyanh, she is so helpful, my entire tree is fondant, I pushed the base on a popsicle stick and left about 3/4 in. showing out the bottom of the trunk so you can stick that part in the cake, let it dry for about 30 min. and then shape a green cone on top. Then use a pair of scizzors and snip the cone all over to make branches, make sure you pull the branch up a bit once you make the cut, you may have to snip of extra fond. when you get to the bottom...
