Carpenters Cake






This cake was for my brother who is a Joiner by trade and was celebrating his 50th Birthday.  I made a rich fruit cake, fed with Brandy which is his favourite.

Its covered with almond paste and then white sugarpaste which I airbrushed slightly around the sides and made wooden planks from Squires Kitchen modelling paste, graining each one and then airbrushing to give a wooden effect.  These are then decorated with grey sugarpaste nail heads.  I made various tools for the top, and a pencil and nails which I scattered on the board.                                                                                                                                                                         

 

To finish I made a rough edged wooden plaque which I fixed in place with one of the sugarpaste nails.
