All,
I've had a last minute request for a keyboard cake (not a computer keyboard, a musical keyboard). I am unsure how to mold or shape the individual white keys to make them look realistic. I'm in a time crunch because I have to have this done by Friday morning (and I work a regular fulltime job during the day! UGH!)...

Can anyone give me any ideas? This will be a fondant cake and I want to make it look as close to a real musical keyboard as I can...

Thanks so much in advance!

Rather than molding the keys individually, make a thick sheet of white fondant and make impressions between the keys with a long, thin item, such as the side of a ruler or blade. Then, you only have to mold the black keys - EASY - and place them in the appropriate spaces over the white keys.

Not sure if they would be too thick and I don't know the cake size, but doesn't dipping Kit Kats in black candy melts sound like they would work? Maybe?

wow, now that's creative!
