Days of Summer Cabin Cake

by Cheryl Swenson

I made this cabin cake to raise money for children to go to camp. I made four square confetti cakes and filled them with trutti-frutti filling.

I added vanilla buttercream frosting and placed large and small pretzel sticks around it to make it look like a log cabin.

I made the following out of candy clay:
children, the canoes, innertube, windows and shutters.

I made the rocks out of candy clay and covered them with marbled fondant.

The tree was made out of large marshmallows. I painted them with chocolate until they were thick enough.

The topper was small marshmallows microwaved slightly to form the roundness and then I painted them with green chocolate, and applied a dowel stick to attach them to the tree trunk.

I made the fire pit out of candy clay logs, small pretzel sticks, and the fire I made with yellow, orange, and red chocolate.

The sign on the cabin I made with edible imaging.

I used green coconut for the grass and blue buttercream for the water.

I also made a catwalk out of buttercream and large pretzels.
