This is my brain,

Here is my Donkey Kong cake from a couple of weeks ago.  I actually took pictures during assembly for once!  A couple of tips:

1. To age the barrel, rub a little cocoa powder into the grain of the wood strips after it is on the cake.

2. If there is a seam between where you are stamping the wood strips, put it right in the middle where a black “metal” strip will hid it.

3. A dab of icing behind the logo will keep it fairly stuck, a couple of toothpicks will keep it for certain, just make sure no one eats them.

4. Add real bananas and slice them up when serving :0)
