Mahjong Cake

I made a Mahjong cake for my father's birthday because he enjoys playing Mahjong whenever we have a  family gathering.

The winning combination of  Thirteen Wonders(十三么) is shown on a mahjong table with chips and dice.

 

The cake
The base cake is a square cheese poundcake.





 The square base is then covered with green and brown fondant to create a mahjong table top.





The tiles
Made with 2 layers of fondant and cut out using a cookie cutter.
