Army Scene Birthday Cake

This is a vanilla cake w/ buttercream. The "sand" is crushed wafer sugar cones & the "rocks" are jelly bean rocks. All the other props are toys. The outside was all camouflage which was my favorite part! This is for my nephew turning 6 who LOVES G.I. Joe & anything like that!

Thanks! I just piped the 3 different colors of buttercream into the camo design & then smoothed it w/ the viva papertowel method.

I have to do an army cake soon and I had actually bought a similar set of toys for the cake! I love the rocks and am going to try what you did for the camo. I can only hope mine comes out as nicely!

Awesome Cake! I absolutely love it. Any suggestions for a first timer on using the papertowel for smoothing icing? [email protected]
