How would you make MMA cage walls for a birthday cake?
My son wants an octagon cake for his birthday. My friend is going to make it but we are trying to figure out the best way to make the cage walls. If you are not familiar with walls they basically look like diamond fencing. We thought about making gum paste walls and using kabob sticks or chocolate coated pretzels as the post to hold them up. I was thinking made a thick mesh type ribbon material would work with candles as the post. Any other ideas we can try?

I think a good option would be using the chocolate coated pretzels as the posts. As for the cage itself, try using thin black licorice ropes. Work on a flat piece of parchment and lay strips diagonally one way, and then another layer the opposite direction attaching at the crossover points with dots of royal icing. then attach each side to the posts and one on top to support it. Let it dry and then attach to the cake, perfect since the octagon fence is black just like the licorice. Good luck!

Okay, I'm unsure what this MMA cage is but I'm going to imagine a soccer net for sake of having a mental image.
What about making a flat sheet of rice crispy treats and then before it cools, taking a cookie cutter (or something that would cut a diamond hole through the rice crispy treat) and making your fence out of that? And to get the "silver color" (if that's what color it is), use a bit of black food coloring paste in the melted marshmallow. Once you have your fence made, get some clear or silver edible glitter and then with a dry brush, brush the glitter on the fence to get the silvery gray color. This way, you shouldn't need to do too much propping up with pretzels, etc. because the rice crispy treats should dry firm and stand up pretty well.
Another thought is to take black shoestring licorice and stringing it up around those posts you talked about (pretzels ? Like those rod pretzels covered in royal icing maybe???)
Good luck - sorry - my kids are older so I don't know what the MMA cage is....

I would go with a royal icing, but that is iffy.
You don't want the pieces to break, but not sure anything else which is eatable can be used to recreate an MMA cage.
Wow.
Fondant will fold in on itself.
Yeah, royal icing seems to be the only option.

Wilton has a nice recipe.

i hope Islam doesn't go down the same road Christianity went down. next they would probably make fictional characters for the holidays like Abu Claus or the Eid bunny
