Chocolate Crib Cake

This cake was in honor of my best friend (her first grand child) and her daughter. I wanted something really special and after working day and night for 4 days straight, this is how it came out. Rails, head and foot boards are made of chocolate fondant and gum paste blend. I made these first so they had time to harden and I could carve cake to fit inside. I made individual slats which was a huge mistake. Next time I will cut slits out to make slats. Getting them to line up was quite challenging. For bed I stacked 2, 9 x 13 white sheet cakes iced with buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant. I used veining tool to make pink ruffle.
