Birthday Cake

Luckily, I had just finished working on the birthday cake before I left to go break my leg. I always have lots of fun making the kids birthday cakes and this one was super fun and Bronson was able to help in lots of ways. I found the directions on Family Fun but will give you the basics below.

I made 2 round cakes for the base. Then I made 12 cupcakes and baked the left over batter in a bread pan. 3 cupcakes made up the silo and I used the cake in the bread pan to make the barn. I used the pull and peel licorice to cover the barn and silo with chex cereal for the roof. For the little animals, I used Chocolate chips for the eyes, starburst candy for the ears, halved big marshmallows for the noses. For the chicks, I colored the coconut and used orange and lemon slices (candy) for the beak and wings. For the cows spots I just melted some chocolate chips and spread it on.
