This was for a grooms cake..the bride did not want a lot of fondant, so just the edges are fondant. The rest is buttercream. The poker chips I made out of gum paste and the cards are edible images (I scanned the playing cards then printed) on gum paste.
this is terrific! I thought the cards were real!
What the bride really loved is that I was able to get card backs that were the royal blue of her wedding colors. It was a neat reaction.
