I guess we moms are notorious for putting way too much pressure on ourselves. I was so very disappointed with this treasure chest cake. I wanted to prop up the lid of the box and have candy jewels flowing out of it...Unfortunately, I could only find ring pops and no cany necklaces or chocolate money. Then my grand idea of covering the top of the chest with chocolate fondant over white cake kind of fell apart...so I just had to make do.
Kevin surprised me this morning when he ran up to me and gave me a big hug saying, "Mom, that is the coolest pirate's treasure chest ever."
The hug was so genuine. He really loved his cake and his party. It is so easy to give your kids good things when they are so grateful. What a blessing to have a happy loving son! May God continue to open his heart to the love we have for Kevin (Nate, Em, and Kate).
Happy Birthday to my wonderful 8 year old treasure hunter!!!
I hope my friend and her co-workers enjoy this sweet creation.
The snakes coils are chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and the head, tail and small rocks are white cake with white frosting. 
The dirt is a combination of oreos, vanilla oreos, and chips-a-hoy cookies.
