I modified the truffle centerpiece that someone posted in another topic (truffles would be TOOO expensive) and used pecans and papaya in the pot.

That was me. I actually did it for my daughters teacher I used chocolate that when it was hardening I stuck a toothpick in the middle. And for the pot I used a basket and used pretzals dipped into chocolate. I made a small clown and put it sitting in the middle of all the pretzals. It really looked amazing.

I love your idea how you changed everything. You must have worked hard on it. It took me a while to figured out how the styrofoam that I cut out wouldn't tip with all the chocolate.

thanx smiles. I am going to get ribbon to tie the box as per all the advice here & in chat and skipping cherries, I am not going to put tissue paper - its the bakery box made for this size cake, so I think thats good enough but I guess its a bit lower in height than the bakery cakes, oh well, wasnt going to add a third layer. its a really great recipe I once ate at someones house and took the recipe for.

Shabboss is coming soon
There's no time to cook and bake
We've prepared some takeout food
In which we hope you will partake

There's soda and desert
A frank, some fries, some rings
Eat drink and be merry
As you feast like kings!

The fries are potato sticks with a picture of fries on the bags, the franks are made of marshmallows
