Three log shaped cakes with candy fire and rocks

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

• 3 log shaped cakes
• chocolate frosting
• red and yellow hard candies
• rock candies

1. Start with 3 premade log cakes or make 3 thin sheet cakes and roll carefully (you can fill with ice cream or frosting if desired). Arrange cakes so that they look like a campfire.

2. Frost logs with chocolate frosting and run a fork or toothpick across the log to make the appearance of wood.

3. Unwrap red and yellow hard candies (I used butterscotch and cinnamon candies) and place them on a cookie sheet to bake on a low temperature until melted together. Remove and cool. Break apart candies and stick into logs to make the fire.
   Finish cake by spreading rock candies around base of cake.
