This is so cute... cow print and a pink pig! I love the effect of the bandana covered board! I stapled the bandana to the board as neatly as possible, then covered it with clear cellophane (available at the Dollar Tree). I used cellophane to keep the bandana from staining or smearing with the icing. I was afraid the cellophane would not be food-safe, so I cut a circle of wax paper the same size as the cake and taped it down on top of the cellophane. It is frosted in butter cream with fondant ears and cow print.

Barnyard Cake
This cake was so much fun to make! All the animals are hand-sculpted from marshmallow fondant. The sheet cake is an 11x15 inch chocolate cake. The barn, silo and haystack are carved from an 11x15 inch vanilla-butter cake. It is frosted entirely in butter cream. The cow and the chicken on the barn roof are my favorite parts! Hope the birthday girl likes it!
