M&M Cake

I am sure everyone has experienced the desire to recreate something you have seen on Pinterest at one point or another.  Well my son was getting ready to turn 9 years old and wanted a "different" kind of birthday cake.  He has had the superhero cakes and the Pokémon cakes but he wanted something just different this year.

On to Pinterest we went...What should we choose?!  And then he found it - an M&M birthday cake.  It wasn't just your ordinary cake - this one was HUGE!!

It took me an entire day to decorate and piece it together.  I must say - this cake turned out amazing.

The M&M's were completely edible.  I created them out of Rice Krispy Treats and chocolate dipped them to smooth out the bumps - then I coated them with fondant.

The rest was just paying attention to the details and hoping for a great looking and tasting cake in the end! 

It was a huge success!! and everyone was able to take some to go.
