Ant Hill Cake

Friday, September 12, 2008


Today I made a cake for my friend Jenn's oldest daughter's Birthday (Happy 7th Birthday Rachael!!!) She is having a "Fear Factor" Birthday Party with lots of icky games. It should be lots of fun. She decided that she wanted an Ant Hill cake, so this is what I came up with.....
The cake flavor is French Vanilla. After it is mixed and before pouring in pans, I dumped chocolate sprinkles in and mix them up. It will look like ants in the dirt. I used the Wilton Doll Cake Pan to make the ant hill, but you can use any metal or glass bowl. That was placed on top of a sheet cake. The ant hill is covered in frosting and then crushed chocolate and regular graham crackers. The rest is green for grass. Then the plastic toy ants were placed on top.
I told my kids that the sprinkles are real ants and they were very grossed out....they might not eat the cake! Oh well.....more for the adults! LOL. :)
