Happy Birthday Wesley!!

So clearly I would do anything for my little man... aka my nephew Wesley.  My special birthday surprise to him was to make him a cake.  When I called the week before to see what he was interested in, it turned out he was having a Transformers/Iron Man cake and he requested it to look like Bumblebee.  He specially requested chocolate so I used my creative genius to turn it into a S'Mores cake.  I used the same triple chocolate cake recipe but as my middle layer I crushed up graham crackers and used a big old tub of fluff in the middle.  It was oozy sweet and delicious how the flavors all played in together.  When it came to the decorations I went with just his face.  I covered the whole thing with a layer of yellow fondant.  Over half of that I covered it with additional grey fondant.  All of the accent pieces were made using rice krispies treats that I cut and molded to fit my needs.  His ears, eyes, nose, mouth and helmet piece were all rice krispies treats.  For the logo on the front, I sketched out the Transformers logo and used a food writer pen to finalize the drawings.  Of course the little man loved it and there were enough rice krispies treats add ons for all the kids there to have one... with Wesley keeping the ultimate logo for later :)  Just for added sugar rush factor I used the leftover chocolate cake mix I had to make Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes.  I filled each cup about half full and placed an unwrapped pb cup in the middle.  It didn't fully melt but created a great gooey center.  All the desserts were big hits!!  SO HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY WESLEY!!
