Well if you are a low maintenance mom like me, this cake will suit you down to the ground. It’s SO easy and requires no baking! You can use the mini caramel rolls as suggested, or use bigger ones if you want a bigger cake! It’s perfect for a quick and easy birthday cake!
You will need:
- Cake board or large flat plate
- White and brown butter icing
- 2 mini caramel/jam/Swiss rolls
- Desiccated coconut
- Green food colouring
- Shop bought fondant in white, red, black, purple and yellow
- Variety of sugar flowers, leaves and butterflies
Method:
Use a dab of butter icing to stick the 2 mini caramel/swiss rolls together lengthwise on a cake board or flat plate. Cover with brown icing, roughening it to create the texture of bark.
Add a few drops of green food colouring to the desiccated coconut and mix in very well. Spread the white butter icing over the cake board and sprinkle with the green coconut, pressing it down lightly, for grass.
Use the fondant to make the ladybird, worm and bees, and place these on the forest log.
