Bakers: Does this seem easy or hard?

Do you think it would be that hard to make (decorate) this? What are they using for the rocks?

There is candy that looks like those rocks. I've seen it at Wal-Mart before. The rest is easy. You bake 2 cakes; ice one as usual, cut the other in half and stack both halves on one side and ice it too. You could totally do this at home!

I've never piped anything before, but the icing work doesn't look very challenging.

That's what I was thinking. I've seen candy like that too. Here's some I found but I think it's a bulk bag.

Not hard at all. Yours might even turn out better than that. You need 3 tips, a star, a grass and a round (maybe a 3). . If you don't want to make your own icing, go to sugarcraft on route 4 in hamilton. It is my weakness. Their icing is amazing for premade. They probably have a Thomas kit of some kind, if you don't just use a regular toy. They have chocolate rocks there too. If you can, get a tip #789. It's a 2 inch wide icing helper. That should make it easier to cover the half (and makes the round part a breeze).

If you need to borrow some stuff, let me know.
