Wilbur's 10th Birthday pARTy: The Treats

I made two treats for the pARTy.

First, I divided two containers of

white frosting into seven serving containers.

I tinted each a different color

using Wilton's icing colorant.

Next, I cut the contents of one package of

chocolate Twizzlers in half.

Then I cut each piece in half,

stopping about 1/3 of the way up the length.

I finished each "paint brush"

by cutting each half in half.

Then I dipped each brush in a single color of frosting

and arranged them on a serving tray.

For his cake,

I mixed two batches of cake mix

and baked each in a 9 x 11" pan.

After the individual cakes cooled,

I trimmed the sides to make straight edges

and flipped the two cakes onto the serving tray

side-by-side.

I cut the curves into the cake with a serated knife

and used a biscuit cutter to make the "thumb hole".

I frosted with white frosting and

used a large spoon to swirl

the colored frosting in

one dollop at a time.
