The food pieces went very smoothly. They include a chicken leg, carrot, apple, sausage, pickle, loaf of bread, cupcake, personal pizza, grapes and a pork chop. Every piece is made up of rice cereal treats then covered in fondant and painted.
The bag is where my trouble began. It was the first time that I worked with chocolate fondant. The second I opened the pail I got the strongest smell of chocolate I could ever imagine. I'm a chocolate lover, and it was even too much for me! Immediately I realized the brown was way too dark to be a brown grocery bag, so I added white to it. After I was satisfied with the color, I set it aside and worked on other things. I went back to it, and the brown had taken over! It was back to its original color. So, I added even more white. Lets just say, that didn't work either! Although the bag is too dark of a brown, I'm still proud of this cake.
