The "Berrrrr" Cake

For Buddy's Birthday this year, I made him a "Berrrr" (Bear) cake.

It was dead simple.

I made a chocolate cake from an easy scratch recipe. One 8" circle, one 6" circle, and five jumbo cupcakes.

--

Cut one of the cupcakes in half, this makes the ears, and position the circles like above.

--

--

--

Position a large Ramekin on the tummy, and a smaller one over the nose, then ice the rest of the cake with chocolate icing.
--
--

--

Pop the two ramekins off. Give them to your hovering children to lick the edges.

--

--

Fill in the holes with a Light chocolate icing

(I used a white icing, and added a smidge of cocoa powder to tint it)

--

--

--

On the paws, use four chocolate M & M's & a chocolate circle. the eyes are Hershey kisses stuck in upside down. The nose is another chocolate circle, and then the mouth is red M & M's
