Video on how to make this edible apple topper! (With some tips on how to make the chalkboard too.)
Some tips on how the chalkboard was made: To write the words with a "chalk" look, I just broke a super white candy melt in half and wrote with it on black fondant (mixed with tylose). It wasn't QUITE as bright as I wanted it to be, so I mixed some white petal dust with some of the extra candy melt to brighten the look. When cutting the fondant strips around the edge of the chalkboard, I overlapped them and then cut through both layers at a diagonal to create a mitered wood-frame look.
Additional Tips: I was concerned the apple and book would add too much weight and push down on the top of the cake, so I supported them with a bubble tea straw and board underneath.
