Hi everyone!

I'm about to make a beach -themed cake and I'm totally stuck as to how to form a beach bucket. I suppose it'll have to be rather small because it will be among other decorations as well. The thing is how can I form it so that it's as realistic as possible? Does it take carving- which I'm not that used to , a special mold or what? I thought about using my cupcake tin but  I would rather find another way as I'll have to buy a bigger tin for jumbo muffins which I won't probably need again.Too many questions-sorry

To make it realistic, you will definitely need to do some carving. Even if you buy the large cupcake cake pan, it has ridges that you will have to cut off. 

thank you
