A Candy Land Affair!

Today was the birthday of the daughter of a good friend of mine. She chose the Candy Land theme and asked me to make her cake and cupcakes...Of course I will!

The bottom tier is chocolate, the top strawberry.  The road is made from chewy jolly ranchers that I rolled out and cut into squares.  I then lined it with strings of pull apart Twizzlers.  The gingerbread men are homemade and dipped in jimmies, or sprinkles as they are known around here. No one ever knows what I am taking about when I say jimmies!  And then various candy all over! I got the inspiration from Parents Magazine a while ago and was so excited for the chance to finally make it!



And of course we needed cupcakes!  But, for a Candy land birthday, no ordinary cupcakes would do!  These were made with different flavors of cake. You just fill the flat bottom cones just above the line of the widest part. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so and voila! You have cupcake cones!  I iced them in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry and sprinkled some jimmies (sprinkles) on top and that it!  Ice cream cones that don't melt! Well, they started to in the 95 degree, 105 heat index weather we had today!
