Mint Cookie Filled Parmadillo Cake - Birthday Fun!
I've started a new tradition of making fondant cakes for the kids birthdays. Each time I try something new and try to kick it up a notch.
Life has been absolutely crazy around here with both my husband and I working full time and trying to manage a calm household in the middle of moving, new school and everything else. Creating an amazing cake was one thing I was determined to not let slip. I started planning well over a month before his birthday and his request was clear - he wanted a Parmadillo Cake. It's a character from Viva Pinata in case you weren't familiar.
My trademark filling has become the crumbled mint oreo mixed with vanilla frosting. Add some purple fondant and a little free hand frosting decoration and there you go! One custom birthday cake.
I'm definitely not a professional, but the kids don't care and they LOVE being able to come up with their own cake designs. Now if I could just find a cake to make to crumble up some of that Halloween candy we have laying around...
