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 12×19 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.
Amber your creativity serves you well. Keep it up. Its so rewarding to see faces light up at the difference you can make with being creative.
So much is right within our own abilities
Nice cake, I especially like the way the pond turned out.
My husband is a scout leader and I always do a bbq for his b-day. This year I’ll try this cake. I am going to try graham wafers for the tent and candy rocks around the fire and pond. Thanks for sharing this cake!
Cool cake but all u can eat is the cake try to make the whole cake edible!!! more servings means you can invite more guests!!
