•
1 baked 13- x 9- x 2-inch cake
•
6 cups chocolate frosting
•
Edible treasures, such as chocolate
coins, Rolo candies, chocolate almond kisses or Necco Wafers
•
Red Fruit by the Foot
•
Mini jawbreakers
•
Candy jewels, such as candy
necklaces and rock candy
Step 1:
Cut a section approximately 2-inches wide in the center
of the cake. The two remaining 5 1/2- x 9- x 2-inch rectangular pieces
will form the bottom and top of the chest.
Step 2:
Slice the 2-inch section on an angle to form two long
triangular wedges. Place the wedges on the bottom half of the chest,
about an inch apart. Both wedges should face the same direction (tall
end toward the front of the cake) as they will support the top of the
treasure chest and keep it propped open. Then frost the bottom half of
cake, including the wedges.
Step 3:
To add further support for the top of the chest, stand a
few large gold coins under the lid.
Step 4:
With the "hinged" end (left side of photo) at the back,
place the top of the chest on the bottom and frost.
Step 5:
Wrap the fruit leather straps around the chest and press
mini jawbreaker "nails" into the frosting alongside the straps. Fill the
chest and the surrounding area with edible treasures and jewels.
