My boss's birthday is next month and one of my co workers suggested I made a cake in the shape of a Blackberry (the hand held device, not the berry you eat) Has anyone done this? It looks simple enough, except all the keys!!!

sheet cake carved to basic shape

over in fondant of appropriate colors and shapes

for keys: fondant cut out with very small oval cutter. (might "sacrifice" an old round tip and squish it to make an oval)

might use rubber stamp set of letters to stamp the ovals w/ the letters

i suppose you could print out all the letters as an edible image and then cut them all out too

hmm, a rubber stamp! What a great idea! Just use food dyes?

yep...any food coloring would work...I'd probably do black gel and spread it out thin on a plate to create the "stamp pad" (same technique as when doing block prints)

you could always get a black edible food marker and just write on the fondant cut outs too!!!

I am now dying to try the stamp idea! What a cool idea!

I have those markers and have never been happy with them. I guess my handwriting just sucks too much ahhahaa
