Chocolate Elf House Cake


We made a chocolate Big Top Cupcake with chocolate icing yesterday for the Girl Scout Daisy Troop Cmas Party last nite: marshmallow bushes outside the graham cracker door. I'm not a good cake decorator, but Clarice & I loved making the cake and it was eaten quickly, because it was so moist & delicious (thanks, Duncan Hines!). :)

White splotches, silver, and dark blue swirls happened here.
