Construction Birthday Cake

I used a chocolate cake mix and cooked it in one 9″ round cake pan and one smaller round pan.  I placed them on a 11 x 17 cardboard and frosted them both with chocolate frosting.  I did leave one space on the larger cake without frosting, where I placed the tractor that’s digging into the cake.  Then I added the other tractors and the candy.  I used the mini unwrapped Kit Kats for the “bricks” and chopped Snickers for the “rocks”.  Yes, I did put chocolate frosting on the cardboard next to the cake so I could stick the candy into the frosting to hold it in place.
I found a clip art image online for the construction tape that I put on the signs.  I taped the “Caution” sign onto toothpicks so it would stick up on the cake.  I taped the other sign right on to the clean side of the cardboard.
I loved making this cake because it was pretty simple and fast, yet it looked amazing.
It was a huge success!

  2. THANK YOU so much for this wonderful idea! I will be attempting to make this for my son’s 2nd birthday next Saturday (and I’m hoping it turns out half as good as yours did!). Question for you before I begin, how much candy did you use? Will one bag of each of the kit kat/snickers do? Did you use full size snicker bars or minis?

    Think of your body as a factory. The only way he could eat that much and not go up in weight is if his body somehow had a
    crazy metabolism (And by crazy I mean 4x normal,
    which is unheard of, even for elite athletes) or if it somehow failed to absorb nutrients, in which case eating more calories is just wasteful, and he should focus more on how he
    takes his calories. Supplements might be of use here..

  16. Thanks for your tips. One thing we have noticed is always that banks and also financial institutions have in mind the spending behavior of consumers and also understand that a lot of people max out there their own credit cards around the holiday seasons. They prudently take advantage of this kind of fact and begin flooding the inbox and also snail-mail box together with hundreds of Zero APR card offers immediately after the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that in case you are like 98% of all American open public, you’ll hop at the possiblity to consolidate personal credit card debt and move balances for 0 interest rates credit cards. การ์ดแต่งงานราคาถูก

  20. I’ve absolutely loved your blog this past year! I’ve got a number of food sensitivities, but your recipes are always tasty, easy to adjust, and usually don’t include what bothers me in the first place. The good news is that wine, a product of fruit, almost always contains only natural sugars.Welcome to Jason’s Holidays
