I have never used Royal Icing so I am not comfortable making the rails using RI. So does anyone have any ideas what else to use?


Thanks,
Cecilia

non-edible: skewers, dowels, lolli-pop sticks

edible: licorice sticks, pretzel sticks, fondant or gumpaste shaped and allowed to harden.

Debbie Brown's instructions for making the rails on her ship wreck cake say to:

Roll peas sized balls and edge the top of the ship. Indent slightly into the top of each ball to create a recess, then make long oval shapes and stick in position on the balls. Roll out and cut strip for the rail, marking wood lines and splinters with a knife. Curl the railing around at the front.

Here's a pic of it.

I used chocolate sticks stuck together with buttercream (in my pics), delicious!

Pour powdered cocoa in a cake pan and make the design with your finger, then pour melted chcolate in and cover with the cocoa, let harden. Make GREAT wood!

I did this ship (in my photos), and followed the instructions that were given, and it was surprisingly easy to do, although, it was time consuming. It was lots of fun to make, and the look on the kids faces when they saw it was priceless. I used chocolate pettinice fondant for mine so I didn't have to tint all of tha tfondant brown. Tasted like tootsie rolls!
