Cake for Bake a Wish Austin. The birthday girl wants to be a chef when she grows up, so this is what I came up with.

Cutting board and chef hat are sour cream white cake with vanilla buttercream, covered and decorated with fondant. Cutting board was then brushed with a mixture of vodka and food coloring to make it look like wood.

Food prep bowls are chocolate. Mushrooms are modeling chocolate dusted with cocoa powder. Peas are Sixlets candy; peapod is made from two rolled out Jolly Rancher chewy candies. Broccoli are made from cut lime Tootsie Roll candies, topped with green buttercream, then dipped in green sprinkles. (Broccoli idea is from the book, "What's New Cupcake?") Carrot and knife are modeling chocolate.

Utensil holder, spatulas, wooden spoon, and whisk are all made from gumpaste.
