I am making a bridal shower cake with a kitchen theme. I am making a utensil holder with utensils coming out of the top. The issue I am having is with the utensils. Originally, I was going to do them out of chocolate, but there isn't very many chocolate molds that will work. Most of the items would be to small. Now I am thinks of using foundant to mold the shapes. So...
1. Do you know of some secret mold shop that would carry utensil shaped molds?
2. Or do think I should use foundant?
3. Would the foundant hold up? (i.e - as wooden spoon sticking out of cake) I have only used it for small shapes, thus far. - Should I let is dry rock hard?
4. Any other ideas, advice, pictures would be great.
This cake has to have a "WOW" factor.
Thank you,
Lee
I did consider real utensils, but the customer has prepaid $100, so she is expecting so-called edible utensils. I was thinking I could buy some Wilton Fondant in the skin colors and make some shapes out of that. I am just not sure if it will be stable enough to stick in the top of the cake.
Thanks for the input - Lee

I have searched high & low for a picture like that. I never did a search using the term food - always kitchen, utensil, etc.'
Thank you so much!!!!!!

Adding gumtex to your fondant will definitely make it dry harder.
