Toy Box Birthday Cake

My youngest nephew just turned one, and this is
the cake I chose to make for him.



I've been seeing these Toy Box cakes all over and thought
it would make a really fun 1st birthday cake.

Cake is approximately 8"x11" and is frosted in buttercream
and then covered in fondant. Some toys are made from fondant
& gumpaste and others are styrofoam covered with gumpaste to
help cut down on the weight.

Happy 1st Birthday Jack!
