My mom had a birthday this past weekend and my boys insisted that we make her sweet flowers since she loves flowers. So, that’s just what we did! This Flower Box Garden Cake is very easy to make! Also a great cake for the kids to help decorate all by themselves.
Flower Garden Cake
1 Cake Mix
Chocolate Frosting
Pepperidge Farm Pirouette Cookies
Crushed Oreo Cookies
Mini White Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Wilton Candies
Green Sticks
White and Chocolate Cookie Icing
Chocolate Jimmies
Start out by making any cake mix in a loaf pan. We also made a few cupcakes with some of the extra. Bake according to directions. Frost with chocolate frosting. Cut the Pepperidge Farm cookies in half and press them around the sides. Top the cake with crushed Oreo’s.
For the flowers we used mini Reese’s cups. We squeezed a little icing around the edges on the top & then attached on our candies. You could also use M&M’s for this. Let that dry & then poke in your stick. We then pushed them in another Reese’s mini cup so they would stand up straight. Dig little holes in the cake (the kids will love this part) & then top with some more frosting. It’s like your are planting real flowers!:)
We added chocolate icing and chocolate jimmies on the yellow ones to make them look like sunflowers. Super easy to make & it turned out so cute!
My mom loved it. Happy Birthday Mom…we love you!
