  • Chocolate gold coins (adapted to the number of participants)
  • 4 shish kebab sticks

  • Cut the cake in the middle (or in the upper third) lengthways.
  • Roll out the yellow fondant or marzipan and cut out the ribbons and the lock for the treasure chest.
  • Attach the straps and lock to the treasure chest Cut the shish kebab sticks (two longer ones, two shorter ones)
  • Use the shish kebab sticks to attach the upper part of the cake to the lower part so that an open treasure chest is created (the two long sticks in front, the short ones in the back)

Before cutting, it is best to remove the shashlik sticks and gold coins from the cake. The gold coins can then be distributed to every child
