Perhaps because of recent camping, the boys asked for a forest-themed birthday cake, and asked for me to design it (instead of them drawing their own design). I had a lot of fun with this. We found a cougar and a wolf among their figurines; the cougar was especially appropriate, because there were cougar sightings near Camp Kalsman this year. They picked up aquarium logs from the dollar store. From the cake supply shop, I got evergreen trees, chocolate river rocks, and chocolate boulders (!). The lake is fondant, surrounded by the river rocks and busted cinnamon sticks.
For the cake itself, I made the frosting into a grassy forest floor.
Fun and delicious!!
