Hello. Does anyone know where I can get instructions on how to make a french fry cake? I have to make a cake for a grand opening for McDonald's. I think I can handle making the burger by using the Craftsy video, but it doesn't show me now to make the fries in a McDonald's type holder. Does anyone know how to do this cake that I found online? It's probably a cake from the CC site. I'm wondering if I'll need to put skewers in each fry to attach it to the cake or can I just brush them with gumpaste glue then stack them. Will modeling chocolate stick together using gumpaste glue?
Thanks for any help.

Use a crinkle cut knife not a straight edged knife to make the wavy kind of fries
(its a vegetable knife - not your regular serrated meat knife!)
I've made a basket of french fries cake and little portions of french fries - pound cake stands up the best and after you've baked, cooled and cut, pop them in the broiler quickly to brown up on a rack - I don't use fondant. Don't overcook the cake - slightly underbake is good or the broiler part will cause the cake to be too dry. Some cake examples are in my gallery - but I really think the key is the knife! I realize your photo is the straight cut fry but personally I like the wavy!
Good luck!

I forgot to post a picture of the finished product. Finally getting around to it. Thank you everyone for the ideas. The recipient was very pleased. I ended up making the fries out of modeling chocolate then brushing on petal dust by hand. The fry container is cake.
Sorry the photo is upside down. Don't know why it flipped.
