Giant Girl Scout Cookie Cake
It’s that time of year again… my guy’s birthday! We sort of alternate between “boring” normal birthday cakes, and creative/challenging cakes. This year entailed the latter. (Some of you may remember previous cakes such as last year's Chocolate Bombe: http://bakebakebake.livejournal.com/3269244.html or the South Park cake from back in 2008, my first BBB post!: http://community.livejournal.com/bakebakebake/1160397.html)
Choosing the cake was up to me this year - sometimes that’s dangerous, because I’ll always pick something I’ve never made before, and it usually requires literally hours’ worth of preparation. No matter, I’m always up for it! We’ve been on a Girl Scout Cookie kick this year (Samoas and Thin Mints, of COURSE) and I was inspired by a blog post I saw about making a giant Samoa cake. She had a great idea, but I wanted to make some variations on that idea to include more “cookie” elements, and of course frosting.
The end result was this:
I did a HUGE tutorial on my blog, if you'd like to see more pics and recipes. (Found here: http://victoriacamp.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/giant-samoa-girl-scout-cookie-birthday-cake/)
