Taco Cakes

This was another cake done by my cub scout boys! They made a big round cake and cut it in half. Those halves were sat on their end and frosted with the appropriate color. Then they sprinkled oreo cookie crumbs to resemble meat and added cut up red, white & green gum drops and rolled green gum drops (roll in sugar to prevent sticking) to resemble lettuce. They even added strings of orange frosting for 'cheese'. Then, the left over gum drops they cut up into 'salsa'. Very clever guys!

"Donut" Cake

This was my first try at a bundt cake and I thought it turned out pretty good. I used a regular yellow cake recipe and let it cool completely in the pan. To decorate, I warmed the frosting a little and spooned it over the top so it would drizzle down the sides. Then I added sprinkles to the top. When the kids came home from school they all thought it was a huge donut! So, I've named this one the donut cake!

BBQ Grill

I can't take any credit for this one! When Tyler was in cub scouts they had a father-son cake contest and they put this one together all on their own. The whole thing is edible. I wish I had a better picture of the top...they actually made grill lines with marshmallows underneath for hot coals! The hamburger patties are cookies and the hot dogs and cheese are molding candy. The fire is melted cinnamon candies broken into shards and the rest is frosted.
