Life Size Clc Tool Bag...
cake of chocolate cake, measured 26 inches long, 13 inches wide and 11.5 inches high or life size. The bride took pics of her fiance's tool bag, hammer and tape measure and wanted them replicated exactly. The bottom 6" is dummy cake. Though this was fun and challenging ( especially getting in the creases in the canvas part of the cake ) it was so time consuming. I found the hardest part was placing the side pockets. Her pics had them open, but when I tried that the fondant just kept falling off the cake. The piggy bank was a private joke b/t the couple. He kept saying the cost of the wedding was breaking the piggy bank, so she had me make a broken piggy bank with the hammer placed next to it. All accent pieces are gumpaste. The piggy bank and tape measure are gumpaste covered styrofoam, $1 bill is of rice paper on gumpaste, then folded to look like a money wad spilled out of the bank.
