Works for Me Wednesday! Check out Rocks in My Dryer for all kinds of fabulous tips.
OK, I'm revealing one of my deepest secrets. Whenever I need a quick, fast, and adorable cake, and need to clean out my cupboard, this is my #1 pick. I LOVE IT!!!! I found it a couple years ago in a birthday party magazine and I've been hooked ever since. It's fabulous on so many levels....
*Every time we've made it it's gotten rave reviews.
*You can decorate this cake in about 5-10 minutes.
*It's pretty hard to mess up. My kids have done some wild candy on them but it seems to just add to the cuteness.
*For a big party, you could make several for a fabulous tablescape that doubles as dessert.
So, grab some candies that you've hidden in the cupboard and have fun! There are so many great combos...I'm thinking of making a creme de menthe cake with chocolate frosting and York Patties decorating it. Yum!
Ingredients:
-Candy, any kind
Lay two strips of Fruit by the Foot across the cake (see picture)
Make two loops with Fruit by the Foot for a "bow" and add two tails.
Decorate with your favorite candy. We've used M & M's, suckers, gumdrops, Smarties, Skittles, just about everything.

I saw a version of this in a magazine before Christmas that used rolled marzipan and other fancy things. I thought it looked pretty but it would take a long time and not be to our taste. This looks more to my family's taste and available time. Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea!! Thanks so much for sharing!! It def is a cute cake!!
That is so cute! I think I will try that next time a birthday rolls around!
:)
Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful. Thanks!
Wow! That cake is so adorable! Have you ever made an Ice Cream Cake? I think I have officially had it with spending $30 bucks on a Cold Stone Cake everytime a Birthday rolls around...I want to try to figure out how to do it myself.
Oh, if only I'd read this yesterday! I wanted to take something to our new neighbors and ended up making chocolate cookies (and ate nearly half the batch!) This would have been perfect!
I saw this in the magazine when it appeared, and thought it was a fabulous idea, though we haven't actually tried it out.
This is so cute! I want to decorate the cake I'm decorating for tonight to do this. Way cute. But I don't have Fruit by the Foot...I may have to improvise.
