Creative Cakes

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:


Pound cake or other loaf-shaped cake


Chocolate frosting


Ladyfingers


Chocolate wafer cookies


Sugar


Gumdrops


Green toothpicks

1. Ice the top and sides of the pound cake with
chocolate frosting. Then trim the top of each ladyfinger into a point to
resemble a fence picket. Gently press the pickets against the frosted sides of
the loaf cake.



2. Seal a handful of chocolate wafer cookies in a
plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the crumb
"soil" on top of the loaf cake.



3. Plant a row of tulips: Sprinkle sugar onto a
waxed-paper-covered surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten gumdrops to a 1/4-inch
thickness. With kitchen scissors, cut notches in the tops of the flattened
gumdrops to create tulip shapes. Insert a toothpick stem into the base of each
blossom.



4. Make a pair of leaves for each tulip by trimming
flattened green gumdrops into teardrop shapes. Spear the base of each leaf with
the toothpick stem and push it halfway up the stem. Now plant the tulips in the
cake.



5. For a fun finishing touch, sprinkle coconut tinted
with green food coloring around the garden to resemble grass.

    Great lens here. I actually caught myself wondering who would order kiwis and bananas on a pizza before I realized it was a cake and not a misplaced ebay item! Definitely one of the cooler creations I've seen. If you get a chance, check out my unique cakes site
