This one is for Lucas....like Ava says "I like Lucas"...

One of my newphews has turned 8 and requested a computer themed party. His mother could not find sufficient decorations etc to fulfill this request so he graciously agreed on a generic theme as long as his cake was a computer! Of course my sister must oblige this request and put in an order for a computer cake (gulp!!).

I decided to make the screen out of rice crispie treats since I could not figure out how to do it successfully with cake..


The main body and the keyboard are made out of cake. The keys on the keyboard are made out of gumpaste/fondant and because Lucas is blind I put the letters in braille on the keyboard. I'm hoping I did it right and didn't screw it up, because that child is a little genius and will know immediately if I buggered it at all!




And this is the final product!! It was meant to be orange and yellow, but the orange once mixed with white fondant ended up turning peachy in color...over all I am happy with it given it is my first attempt at a fondant cake since my class last fall. I hope Lucas and his friends enjoy it!!
