This cake is a small 6" with 2dz cupcakes to match. The cake is all fondant with a fontant/gumpaste hook. I make the hook out of yellow fondant and sprayed it with edible gold spray and sprinkled gold dust on it. I had to let the hook dry for 5 days. The cupcakes were done with the Pirate Cupcake Kit from Williams-Sonoma. The gold coins are chocolate candies covered in gold foil from Party City.
