This week Paula, Melinda and I decided to play with our food! We decided we’d make something fun out of what we had on our plates. Except, James turns 9 this weekend {NINE! How is that possible?! I just don’t know. Anyway …} so I did mine with a Pinterest-inspired cake!
James wanted a camping-themed party. I found the COOLEST Campfire Cake (WorkmanFamily is awesome!)!! I knew right away that was the one, but I also knew I didn’t want tissue paper in the middle of it so I’d be creating something a little bit different.
Colin helped me with the brownie base.
I frosted it.
James helped with the graham crackers.
Then I finished decorating it after the kids were in bed (mostly so James would be a little surprised at his party).
Happy 9th birthday, Bub!!

This looks so cool, I know my grandsons would love it! Will have to share with them!
This is so cute and tastes great too!
I love the way it turned out! I want some!! I had a little brownie today that had cookie dough baked in. shhh. It was really good.
YUMMO!
This is so cool! You are so creative, your boys are so lucky to have you.
Thank you 🙂 But I can’t take all the credit! I did find the idea on Pinterest!
When I saw that cake on your WW post I was really hoping you’d say how you made it- it’s SO cute!
SO easy! I linked it, but it wasn’t mine and I didn’t change it, so I didn’t feel it was right to post it. (Brownie baked in a round pan, covered in chocolate frosting, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter M&Ms and Twix bars!)
Such a cute cake to make with the kids… well, I stink at decorating, so it would be a good one for me too…lol.
