Over The Hill Cake Idea - Combover Cake



This cake requires:
- A Round Cake Pan
- Cake Mix (eggs, oil, water, whatever the label calls for)
- White Frosting (one jar)
- Thin licorice (use black if you can, I could only find red)
- Two brown M&M's
- One marshmallow
- One tube of black frosting
- One jar of brown frosting coloring, or brown food coloring
Bake the cake. Let it cool and then decorate it like the picture. Here are some tips:
- Lay out the entire design on a piece of paper beforehand.
- When frosting the cake, keep a glass of hot water handy. Rinse your spatulat or knife in it before smoothing the frosting.
- The ears and eyeballs should be at the same level.
- The nose should be just about in the center of the circle.
To get the licorice in the combover to look particularly stringy I rolled it between my hand and the counter.
