OK, so I did a big no no. A repeat customer called me and ordered a toolbox cake. I missed the part where she said "like Handy Manny's". I'm thinking a big red box with Craftsman written on it and a handle. Well, later I realized that she said Handy Manny and I looked him up. Ouch!

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could make this cake???? HELP!!!!

You could do an FBCT of the toolbox on a sheet cake or if you want 3D, do the box part as cake & make the tools out of gumpaste or candy? ???

I would make the 3D tool box. Not sure of the servings u need but i'd take a sheet cake and cut it in half and stack it on top of its other half. U could use gumpaste for the triangular sides and u could make a posterboard tube for the handle coveredin fondant to match so it's light. Then u can make tools out of fondant/gumpaste. If time is short just make the tools 2D or from the edible images so u have their faces and adhere that to dried gumpaste so they stand up nice and tall for the bday kid! Hope this all makes sense.

I am definately doing the 3-d cake. I was wondering how I should do the sides holding the handle. I am going to make the tools out of fondant. Just not sure what would hold the handle securely. I have never used rice krispy treats, what do y'all think? Would they ice well and blend in with the rest of the cake?
