I'm with Tessa on this one.  Unless your fence is going to be straight up against the cake, then you could cut out of fondant (make a template with parchment paper first if you find that easier) and stick straight on.  But if you want it free-standing  then it would have to be really hard gumpaste, modelling paste - or better still, use pastillage which will dry really hard, but will be quite brittle, so be careful with it.  You will be able to find a template on the web - here's one from Cake Central -

Thanks bunches, ladies. I think I'll use the template for the fence using gumpaste if I can't find pre-made wood ones at Michael's.

I did a quick search for picket fence molds.  hope this helps the first one is a pricey one but the mold looks great but it isn't made with silicon. anyway hope this helps you out.
