The fondant decorations (TNT, tiles, squares for “happy birthday”) for this cake were made a week ahead of time. A week isn’t necessary but I was going on vacation and decided to make the fondant pieces before leaving so I wouldn’t be rushed when I got home. They were definitely hardened nicely.
The cake itself was a 2-layer 10″ square chocolate/vanilla marble cake with chocolate buttercream icing, covered in fondant (chocolate, and green colored vanilla fondants). The rest of the decorations were toys I found at my local Target and decided to purchase instead of making those, so the recipient could play with them afterward.
