This was one of the easiest cakes I have ever decorated. The theme was CONSTRUCTION, people. It didn't matter if the cake stuck to the pan or broke, it was going to be demolished anyways!
I used Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake recipe with icing for the cake. I also made cupcakes using Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and Frosting. The cake was a huge success and VERY tasty. There were no leftovers. I highly recommend the Hershey's recipe.
The sand is pulverized Nilla wafers with two Oreo cookies added for color. The dirt is pulverized Oreo cookies. The rocks are chocolate rocks that I purchased from a local candy store. The kids helped me decorate.
My favorite part of the day was when W walked into the kitchen, looked at me with a cheeky grin and then pinched a chunk of his cake. He declared "It is my birthday and my cake and I want a bite!" It didn't hurt the look of the cake, so I didn't argue!
