Campout Cake 10

I had the most fun creating this camping cake. My nephew had a campout for his tenth birthday and I had the pleasure to make this awesome cake.

I made a 1 layer 12x19 sheet cake, colored store bought icing, green, using Wilton's gel food coloring. His birthday was in September and Walmart had already started putting out Christmas stuff so I bought the trees from the Christmas department.

I bought the oh so cute deer from Michaels craft store and put him the woods. I made the tent using a folded index card and felt paper. I just used spray glue to hold the two together. I used regular string and cut dow rods to hold the tent to the cake.

I used butterfinger candy sticks as log seating and candy corns for the fire. The camp grounds couldn't be complete without a pond so a little bit of blue icing and bushes and rocks finished it off.

This cake was such a hit at the party they almost didn't want to cut it.
