Desk cake help

Hi,

Any tips on how I can go about doing this desk? I am thinking to stack cakes and then just carve the middle bit... and cover in black fondant.

How do i get the glass look in the middle of the desk and one of the drawers? No clue!!

Any help would be great! I've attached a pic!

You could melt clear hard candy to make a panel, or use isomalt if you want to go the 'totally edible' route. Otherwise I might just 'cheat' and cut a piece of clear plastic from a package or something.

Wow- I've done lots of carved cakes, but never a desk! This one could be tricky! Good luck!

Thanks Jackie....how exactly do you melt the candy? And i suppose i have to make a mould to hold the hot melt once i'm ready to pour it?

Meera - I noticed on GlobalSugarArt.com they've started selling isomalt sticks, pre-colored, that you can melt for sugar work. You might check there.

I saw an episode on "fabulous cakes", they made a dresser with a drawer open. Maybe wht they did could help you, although iy was a huge cake, but you could down size wht they did I suppose.

However the look they acheaved was for the drawer open and they made glass looking handles. Might not be wht your looking for.
