i'm wanting to make a laptop birthday cake... i will do the screen with cardboard or polysyrene. Has anyone made one before? I just debating how to do the keyboard part cos i dont really want to use fondant icing. I had thought about seeing if i could find a chocolate keyboard mould and making the keyboard out of chocolate and putting that on the cake

mmmm use strips of licorice cut into key shapes then placed on cake with a bit of icing to hold them down? Then pipe the 1 2 3 and a b c onto it?

for the screen, you could make a slice (uncooked type with cookie crumbs and condensed milk for the screen part! Then its all eatable!

i'm just going to make one huge cake (mudcake?) in a roasting tin which will be the base and get some silver/grey coloured fondant icing and cover it in this, and get a piece of cardboard and cover in silver wrapping paper and get a print out (either a photo of the birthday person or a screenshot of his fav computer game) put this on the front of the screen, and somehow make a keyboard from something lol,. I will attach the screen to the cake using skewers or something similar.

Put "laptop cake" into Google and you'll get lots of links if you're looking for ideas :)
i wonder how they got the writing on the keyboard letters so perfect and tidy lol
