Materials Needed:

  • Pastel candy (m&ms or eggs)
  • Cake mix
  • Fondant
  • Toothpicks
  • Piping bag
  • Frosting

Directions:

  • Bake 3 round cake layers and stack them on top of each other.
  • Carve out the middle on the top to lay the candies.
  • Frost the outside with chocolate. Fill a piping bag with frosting and make little lines of frosting all over the cake to look like a nest.
  • For the bird you can roll cake and frosting together to make a ball then cover with fondant. Stick two toothpicks in for the legs!
  • Enjoy!
