Poker Cake

Who doesn't enjoy a good poker game? What if I told you you can now actually eat those winning cards you have, or that 1M chip, OK doesn't sound too appealing but well wouldn't it be fun? =D

It's my aunt's birthday today, and she loves playing poker (to be specific: the Facebook more-or-less harmless game) SO I stayed up last night making her a customized poker cake! =D (I'd like to thank everyone in the family who helped, especially my mom!!! Can't ever do anything without you =) )


It's by far, one of my favorite cakes so far. I used my new Wilton Colors: turned out great!! I only wish I can find them here in Lebanon =( (Thank you Aunty May for getting me the colors)

For the table, I thought I'd make a square green table (I know a poker table is supposed to be an oval, but I wanted to give the square one a try).

That was the easy part!

For the Cards.  I used white marshmallow fondant and cut out 4 rectangles. Then I used my sugar markers to paint the aces and the suits.

For the Chips,  I used red and blue fondant. Mom helped with these =D We cut out circles and finished it off with white sugar pens.

For the Suits,  I made red and black fondant. Cut out the suits and placed them on the sides of the cakes.
