Awesome 3rd Birthday Cake! by Dana Patterson on Apr 19, 2012

I recently went to a birthday party and my friend made this cake for her son!

Talk about AH-MAZ-ING. So creative. I was asking her about it and she said it would seem that the M&Ms would have taken a long time, but they only took her about an hour!

This is what she said she did:

Take two bunt pans and bake your desired flavor of cake – you could even make two different kinds.

Cut the two cakes so they become the 3 shape (obviously, you can test this by cutting a little at the time).

Flatten out the two parts where they attach (she said to put a little frosting where they attach so they stick better).

Ice the whole cake with chocolate icing

Pattern the M&M’s like the picture above.

And you did it…. righhhhhhht. I do think this cake is simple if you pay close attention to detail by taking your time. Here’s the sweet birthday boy blowing out his candles:

She also had something else cute at the party that I would share. Each child had pizza to eat and one of these snack bags:
