Birthday Cake

This past weekend was my son's third birthday party. We had a carnival theme. For the cake I made a popcorn box with caramel corn spilling out.

I used a basic chocolate cake recipe and a chocolate and white buttercream frosting.


I made the cakes and let them cool completely. To make the shape I stacked two layers and added extra to the front to get the height.


I iced the cake first with chocolate then with the white.




Added the stripes with a red colored frosting.



Then using royal icing add the lettering.




Lastly added the the caramel corn.
