Box of Crayons Cake

I have been trying to convince one of my children to have this cake forever but to no avail. So I made it yesterday for Baby M’s first birthday!

Here is what you need

Some cake cones that you cut in half.

Then you cover them in colored melting candies or you could use icing.

I actually printed off a big picture of a crayon box and used melting candy to replicate the parts that I wanted…

kind of like this.  I wanted to use the candy so it looked more like a box of crayons and the colors were perfect BUT  it had a little accident and broke all to bits, it was a little case of to many cooks in the kitchen. (so, so sad)

you’ll also need a 9 x 13 cake.

Cut a section out of the top of the cake for the crayons to sit on.

So instead of my melting candy box that I wanted to use.  I had to use icing.  The green is all wrong and next time (if there is a next time) I think I would try fondant.

 

But you get the idea.
