Tool Box Cake

This cake I made for my husband's birthday. The tools were all made out of gumpaste, and painted with edible silver paint. When I started I didn't know where to start as it were, so I got some real tools out of the garage, and just tried to copy them. I was really pleased with them, as they were my first attempt at modelling with gumpaste. The cake itself was a vanilla sponge traybake, which I cut in half and layered with buttercream until I achieved the size I wanted.

I covered a chopping board with marbled fondant to look like a work bench, and just piped onto the board. and placed the tools around sticking them with a little dab of buttercream. Have to say hubby was pretty happy with it.
