Don’t you hate it when someone’s favorite flavor is German Chocolate? Probably the ugliest combination of frosting on cake that I’ve ever seen. Fortunately, the recipient of this cake is also a rock climber and pecan/coconut frosting looks pretty rocky.
I found the idea for this rock climber cake right here on this very website! I started with a thin layer of honey on the sheet to make the green grass sprinkles stick. Then I added cupcakes and held them in place with chocolate frosting. After I frosted them, I sprinkled chocolate “jimmies” to give an even rockier texture. Then I added a toy action male climber and a female Christmas tree ornament climber and tied them both to the candles.
This “cake” was served at a rock climbing campground where we didn’t want to create a lot of trash from plastic forks or paper plates. It was so simple to just have everyone take a cupcake and a napkin.
You’ve made my day – perfect for my husband’s birthday! Cheers
Where did you find the climbers for this cake?? I have been looking everywhere and have not found any. I’m doing a groom’s cake in July and desperately want to find some like this. Please advise. Thanks!
They were selling them at a Christmas store and I bought 2 but in the 2 years since then, they haven’t carried them. Can’t find them anywhere online! Would love to get another. Anyone know where I can get them?
This is brilliant! Thanks for the cupcake idea!
