what's a cake walk?

Answer 3

I did this one, its not too hard and it looks fun and great!!!!

First of all you will need:

a large ice cream cone, some maraschino cherries, sprinkles

green icing, white (vanilla) icing & chocolate icing or fudge sauce that is used on ice cream, a cake decorating bag, coupler & ring and a grass (hair) tip (has lots of holes in it)

Prepare a cake recipe, pour all into rectangular cake pan except enough to fill and bake into a cupcake. Bake both of these and let cool.

Lightly ice the rectangular cake with green icing.  Then go over the entire cake using the grass tip with the green icing, making it look like grass all over.

Next get the cupcake and place into the large ice cream cone.  Cover with white icing making it look like ice cream.  Lay ice cream cone on "grass" like its been dropped.  You can even have some of the white icing (ice cream) "melt" onto the grass.  Now on top of some of the "ice cream" pour a little of the fudge sauce or use the chocolate icing to make it look like fudge topping.  Place a maraschino cherry on top, then some sprinkles and wah-lah you have a cool cake.  I, myself also made some marzipan ants walking around it like it was a prized find, but that is up to you whether or not you want to do that much ;)

Good luck and have lots of fun!!!!!
