This Coffin Cake was made for my niece for her first Halloween party. I made it in 4 layers. I carved them into the shape and cut out the inside. Crumb-coated it, covered it in fondant and then hand painted it. I added the details.
The top was hard to hold up, in the future I think I would build a structure, maybe of pipe or plexi, so you wont be able to see anything holding the top open.
