TREASURE CHEST

So I have been waiting patiently for a cake to come along where I can use my airbrush!!! I loved making this cake. It was a blast! With good friends, what can be better. So my friend Michelle who's son was turning 7 asked me to make a Treasure Chest. I agreed if she would make the cake and help me out. Well she made the cake and the chocolate and vanilla cake were outstanding! Michelle baked 3 11"x15" cakes. The bottom of the chest was 3 11"X71/2" cakes stacked with Swiss Meringue Buttercream  and the lid was 2 11'X71/2" cakes stacked.. It was a lot of cake!!! Michelle got to make the shells....all chocolate of course.
I then placed dowels to hold up the lid and 2 dowels kept the lid in place. It was finished off with coins, candy and graham cracker crumbs at Michelle's house. Everyone loved it and the birthday boy was blown away!
