I couldn't get my pictures uploaded either so I am attaching them here. This cake was done for my daughters' school for the Mothers' Tea which was a school related theme. It took 2 weeks of 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there. I'm unhappy with the zippers, but otherwise pleased with the results. The board is wood from home depot covered in chocolate fondant embossed and brushed with edible varnish. All school suuplies are either fondant or gumpaste and the cake itself is 3 9x13's cut and layered. Feedback is appreciated!
Thtat is AWSOME! You did a great job! How did you emboss the board?
Here's another "Amazing!" comment. 
You really did do a fantastic job... everything looks great!
Wow, thank you all so much for your feedback! I was a nervous wreck trying to plan this cake (I posted questions along the way in forums with very little responses! yikes!) So I forged ahead on my own! To answer your questions, the board was a piece of wood from home depot covered in chocolate fondant, embossed with woodgrain, lines and nail holes indented then painted with edible varnish to look like polyurethane. All school supplies were hand molded and painted either fondant or gumpaste. Edible images were used for the glue and crayons.
And yes, I did let them cut into it! The parents at the tea didn't have the heart but the principal kept it in her office to show it off then brought in down to the cafeteria the next day where she showed in to the elementary school. Then they cut it up and all of 300 girls got a teensy, weensy taste.
I'm especially proud of this cake as it was my first attempt at this design, and also I am a self-taught decorator. So thanks a bunch for your kind words.
I would do a tutorial but don't have the faintest idea how to make that happen!
Amazing Cake! I showed DH the pic:
Me: Honey, check this out
DH: (staring for about 15 seconds) is it gonna move or something
Me: It's a cake
DH: (mouth drops open) Nooooo! Really!!! 
Can't be!!! Look at that detail and the glue and the pencils and the erasers!! 
Can't be 
Me: Ya, It's a cake
Great job 
Thank you so, so much for your very positive remarks. If you look at my portfolio (and I'm sure you can all say the same) the early pictures are OH SO EMBARRASSING! I'm slowly improving (I took a WIlton course in 2000 and literally fell into fondant and stayed stuck in sugarwonderland ever since!) but since I am not formally trained it's taken me trial and error to learn the trade which is both time consuming and EXPENSIVE! But loving the process. I get majorly excited when I learn a shortcut or a trick to make something look realistic. Your comments are really encouraging to me and helping me to be more confident in my work. I bake from home and am doing 99% family and friends 1 % commissioned work. And in between cakes I am a stay at home Mommy to seven little gold nuggets from ages 1 year to 12....so cakes can only be done piecemeal!
Thanks CC for the encouragement and GREAT advice!
Honestly, every single piece there would have fooled me...especially the glue!
