The can WAS a real can. The cards were gumpaste w/ edible images that I had scanned from real cards and printed w/ my image printer onto edible image sheets. The dice were gumpaste as well as the poker chips. I went online and did a search and found some w/ images on them, copied them and printed them onto edible images, then cut them out and glued them onto the white chips w/ edible glue. The Red, blue, green, and other white chips had indentations all around the edges to make them look more realistic. For the plates under the beer can, I used cd's above and below the can. I ran a dowel rod through the cake for support, then slipped the cd over it, then the can (I punched a hole in the bottom of the can) then hot glued the top cd onto the can, then hot glued the bottom of the top cake plate to the cd on the can to hold it in place. The dowel stick was raised out of the cake a bit, then cut off, then stuck back into the cake. The center circle on top of the cake covered the hole. Voila! Done! See you CAN do this. All puns intended. haha

Okay tell me ... is that an actual can or what? What about the cards, chips, and dice? Another great job on that one! :)
