This tool box cake was made for my Dad’s birthday. This cake would be great for a groom’s cake. I used melted candy coats (white chocolate) to make the tools. I painted the tools with food coloring and edible silver dust. Butter cream icing was used as filling between the layers of cake. The cake was also covered with candy coats (melted white chocolate). The tool box lid was made of the white chocolate molded to fit the tool box.
ITEMS NEEDED:Baked cupcakes
Using the prepared pastry bag, squeeze frosting onto the top of a cupcake.
Place a large marshmallow onto the center of a cupcake
Dab a little frosting onto a miniature marshmallow and adhere to the large marshmallow.
You will use a squeeze and pull motion with the pastry bag and leaf decorating tube to create fluffy fur. Touch the tube against the miniature marshmallow and squeeze and pull away to create fur. Repeat until nose area is covered in icing. Do the same for the large marshmallow.
Place a miniature chocolate chip into the frosting covering the miniature marshmallow. Place two miniature chocolate chips just above the miniature marshmallows to create eyes. Make sure the flat side of the chocolate chip is facing outward.
Continue the squeeze and pull motion of the pastry bag to create fur over the large marshmallow and cupcake.
