Bug Cake and Frog Cupcakes

Happy 6th Birthday Cupcake #2! October 2007

Dirt and bug cake with frog cupcakes. What more could a 6 yr. old boy want???? The cake is the Hershey cake recipe that I got from a dear friend. I then crumbled up chocolate cookies to make "dirt". Then stuck a bunch of Luke's plastic critters on the cake. The frog cupcakes were copied from one of the frog cupcake photos here. The eyes are cut marshmallows with green sugar crystals on the top of the eyes and the red tongue is a cut fruit roll-up. These fruit roll-ups even had pictures of bugs on them, but you can't see the bugs from this picture.
During this party, Cupcake #2 and his friends went through an obstacle course through the woods in our backyard which was a perfect activity to go along with our bug birthday theme.
