Fish~mini gold fish


Animals~Animal crackers


Satan~twizzler


Adam and Eve~??? some kind of cookie or cracker?

Creative people? help?
I think this is a very good idea so far- I would think about the proportions of your objects you are going to use for each thing- if your trees are going to be suckers and / or lollipops you might have a tough time getting a proportionally correct Adam and Eve and the fish will definitely be too large. Also you will have a hard time making the marshmallows stand up right on the toothicks and have the mbe believable as trees





I would take some round green lollipops, slightly dampen them and roll them in green sprinkles, then cut the sticks shorter (leave them long enough to poke into the cake) and use those as shrubs





If you are carrying this around and it will be in a warm place, the Jello might not be a good thing, cut a groove in the cake and fill it with blue gel icing- then 2 -3 goldfish could stick up out of it as if they were jumping.





I would use a square pan , jsut because to me that would be easier to work with but either one would work





trees - you can scuplt these out of ready to use rolled fondant- it is almost like modeling clay, but edible- if you get white you can add a couple of drops of food coloring to get the color you want- you can also mold Adam and Eve out of this- you will ahve an easier time making sure the trees are biggerthan Adam and Eve- animal crackers are a great idea for the animals you can stand them up in the frosting and lean them against the trees


Flower shaped sprinkles are a good idea for the flowers





Another idea you might try for the trees would be roll a piece of carboard (just like a toilet paper tube but somewhat narrower- secure it with tape or glue then use floral tape to tape several (5 - 7) lollipops to the top - bend the sticks at different andles to make branches but keep them close wnopugh together to make the tree look full (you can add more lollipops until you think it looks good- I am just trying to picture it in my head so you can adjust it to what works) slighlty dampen the lollipops and roll in green sprinkles for some texture- depending on the size of the cake and how much other stuff you put on it, I would do at least 3 trees but no more than 5- when doing something that is essentially an 'arrangement' odd numbers work best- 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 for the # of trees, or the # of branches (lollipops) and the # of shrubs- try not to make it look too symetrical

Reply:Use a carrot and a green pepper to make a tree. Stand the carrot with the wide end down. Cut a pepper horizontally in half. Use the half that doesn't have the stem. Cut out triangle shapes along the bottom. Don't have the point of the triangle go all the way to the center of the pepper. Place the cut out pepper on top of the carrot and you have a palm tree.





Dye coconut green and let it dry. Use it for grass.





Make ginger bread cookies and shape them like Adam and Eve
Reply:sounds like alot of work- good luck on the project-





seems like you are on the right track
Reply:Teddy grahams would probably be good for Adam and Eve? Or there's also this cereal called Mighty Bites, I don't know if they have it near you
Reply:sounds like you are doing well. Perhaps some parsley sprigs for bushes. Ginger bread men/woman for Adam and Eve with the fig leaf in green frosting.





You could also make the river out of fruit rollups and it would not be as messy.





Good luck wish I could see the finished product.
Reply:Satan should be a gummy worm.
Reply:Nice idea!


Suggestions:


-the trees can be the toothpick with the marsmallow died green or, so even the trunk can be edible, you can do a cinnomon stick to hold up the marsmallow!


-The bushes can be cotton candy pieces with green food coloring added to it


-Adam and Eve can be those gummies for certain tv shows that have the characters like Scooby do and then use velma and scooby as adam and eve!
Reply:for the bushes you should use broccoli








%26amp; make adam an apple (lmao) %26amp; eve a pear!! unless thats too big.
Reply:Twizzlers are too good to be Satan! LOL
