Pool Table Cake

To make this pool table cake, I made a box cake in a 13x9 cake pan. When cooled, I leveled off the top of the cake. I cut out 6 pockets on the corners and sides of the cake. I iced the sides and pockets with chocolate icing, and the top of the cake with green icing.(white icing dyed with green food coloring).

I dipped pretzel sticks in melted chocolate and made the triangle. I placed gumballs inside the triangle. I dipped the ends of breadsticks in melted chocolate to make the cue sticks. I placed them on the cake and wrote the name on the cake with gel.
