You’ll need:

  • 1 box dark chocolate cake mix (and ingredients to make it…like eggs, water, & oil)
  • 2 cans vanilla icing
  • green food coloring
  • frosting bag and grass tip (or a star shaped tip)

  1. Make the chocolate cake, baking it like normal.
  2. Let it cool completely. 
  3. Take a cup and medium sized cup and press the top of the cup down into the cake, making a hole. Twist is gently to break the cake evenly and remove the cup and the round cake piece very carefully.
  4. Ice with 1 can of vanilla icing
  5. Dye the second can of frosting green (I used 10 drops of coloring) and ice how you like grass to look! 🙂
I realize I’m not the world’s best baker or fancy cake-icer 🙂 but I sure did try! I wanted to make something special for my father-in-law Wes’ birthday and I think that he liked it. 🙂 That’s all the matters to me!
