New Twist

A new twist on

an old idea

I use to put twigs in the top

until my son

suggested I add 

"dead" roses

and 

as luck has it

the Dollar Tree has them! 

Wrench in the works....

I found

these tune-up wrenches
which are  small
abt 4 inches long
and light weight

at a yard sale

and thought hmmm

could I make something from them?

and came up with the following:

Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Mine

When I saw this cake I knew

I had to make it
for my son's birthday

The original - Cake Central

1 box cake mix chocolate

(cake made according to pkg)

1 can vanilla frosting

peanut butter

2 cans chocolate frosting

1 bag Reese's pieces

10 Reese's Cups

 made peanut butter frosting
I added peanutbutter
to vanilla frosting
until it tasted right

made a regular chocolate cake

putting the peanut butter

between the layers

and frosting the top

and sides with chocolate frosting

insert 9 reeses cups

around the top

filling a pastry bags

and piping swirls

on top of the pb cup in the centers

and in between the side cuips

piped stars around the bottom

Added Reese's Pieces 

to the top

The only problem I had was the room

was warm so the frosting

was warm

and made it difficult 

to decorate

The birthday boy....

the aftermath

Tasty Tues
