Ok... so now you know what it looks like... let me tell you what is inside... It all started with a cupcake that I had a couple months ago, and a decision to make it my own...
I started with crushed pretzels, some sugar and melted butter... and pressed it into the bottom of a cake pan...
Baked it... obviously... and this is what came out...
I made two of these... and the pretzel sides were to be the middle... but we couldn't just have pretzel middle so I made my special Peanut Butter cream... which is Natural Peanut Butter, confectioners sugar, milk, and in this case... crushed Tagalong Girl Scout cookies... yes, you read that right!!
The pretzel side of the top layer went pretzel down so that the middle of the cake was pretzel, peanut butter, pretzel... then I covered the wonderful creation with Caramel buttercream... The thick caramel is dark and makes the icing beige, so I dyed it pink.
I was out of fondant and needed to decorate this puppy to look like candyland... while at the grocery store I saw a bag of Airheads and a light bulb went off... I cut the Airheads to make the blocks... I put candy dots along the "path" and gooey gum drops along the bottom... some starlights and lollipops and we were all set!!
The birthday girl loved it...
And the adults sure did too!! I told my DH as I was making it that this might be the best tasting cake I've ever made, and he told me to wait to try it before I make that claim... well I can honestly say, I was right!! ;-)
Its like chocolate covered, peanut butter filled pretzels!!! YUP!
