I made a treasure chest cake for my nephew’s 6th birthday. I used a square pan and cut it in half. Put one piece on top of the other. It was made from chocolate cake filled with chocolate fudge frosting.
I covered it in fondant and painted it with food coloring to give it the old look. All adornments are made from fondant also. The candy was gold coins and candy necklaces and bracelets. I sprinkled brown sugar at the base to look like sand. The lid was made from rice crispy treats. Frosted and treated just like the rest of the cake.
The kids loved it!
i think you did a wonderful job on this!
