This post is a bit delayed seeing how I baked this cake up last week, but I had to share it with you guys!
I’m not too proud of the actual decorations on the cake- my frosting wasn’t the right consistency so my flowers didn’t look very pretty. But I am proud of the cake inside- it was YUMMY!!!
During our third class we learned how to make drop flowers using a closed star tip. The flowers (if made with the right frosting) can be VERY pretty and are super simple to make. Using our small #3 round tip, we made the little dots in the center of the flowers and I made some extra dots around the cake as well.
The cake inside is a Hershey’s cake I sort of made up on my own. I had looked around and found a bunch of recipes but they involved baking with a lot of caramel and I didn’t want my cake to fall apart when I took it out of the pan.
I also half-cheated by using a cake mix- but hey, it worked and tasted delicious!!! Don’t hate! 
Snickers Cake
Cocina Caliente Semirginal 
1 Box of German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Pack of Fun Sized Snickers Candies
1 Bag of Caramel Candies
4 tbsp of flour
1 Batch of Hershey’s “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Frosting
Prep your oven per box instructions.
Chop up the Snickers (I used about 8 Fun sized bars, feel free to use more) and set aside.
Chop up the Caramels (I cut these pretty finely, I didn’t want HUGE globs inside the cake. I also used about 12 caramels) and set aside.
Prep the Chocolate Cake Mix per the box instructions.
When you are done making the batter, dump your chopped candies into the flour. Make sure to mix it up really well so that each candy is fully coated in flour. This will help the candies stick to the inside of the batter versus dropping to the bottom of the mix (top of the cake).
Once the candies are covered in flour, lightly mix them into the cake- making sure they’ve been evenly distributed.
Make sure your pans are very well greased!!!
Bake as per the box instructions.
AND VIOLA! Easy Peasy Snickers Cake.
I filled the layers with the Hershey’s Chocolate Icing but topped it with the standard (overly sweet) Wilton icing recipe. The chocolate on chocolate though was SOOOO good. My co-workers loved it when I brought it in the next day for my managers birthday.
Oh- and I thought I’d share the EXTREMELY creepy Wilton Clowns that we also learned to make during this weeks class. I don’t think I’ll EVER be making these things again- they’re just so creepy looking!!! ACK!
Scary, huh?
