Supplies:

Directions:

1. First unwrap a Devil Dog and place in the mini loaf pan.
2. Next unwrap a second Devil Dog and cut ¼ of the cake.
3. Place the ¼ cut piece to fill the gap in the pan.
4. Frost the top of the cake with chocolate frosting using the #1A large round-piping tip
5. Immediately sprinkle the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on top
6. Make a small carrot shape using the orange fondant.
7. Attach a green shamrock or flower sprinkle by pushing it in to the top of the carrot. You can secure this with a toothpick dipped in water if desired.
8. Next roll out the green fondant and cut in half using a pizza cutter or knife.
9. Then roll the fondant with the rough edges on top to look like lettuce, pinching the bottom to secure.
10. Now make strawberries out of the red fondant and poke little holes using a toothpick
11. Attach a green star sprinkle on top of each strawberry using a toothpick dipped in a little water.
12. Using a yellow edible marker, make a dot in the middle of the white flower sprinkles.
13. Press green fondant into a small silicone leaf mold
14. Mix a little red fondant with blue fondant to make the color of blueberries
15. Then roll a small amount of fondant in a ball to make blueberries
16. Roll out white fondant and cut into small strips using a pizza cutter or knife.
17. Cut the strips into small rectangles for the garden signs. Let dry 24 hours.
18. Draw and label the fruits and vegetables on the signs using edible markers.
19. Attach a toothpick to the back of the signs with frosting or melted chocolate
20. Place the carrots on one side of the cake – I used 5 carrots in a row
21. Next place the lettuce on the other side of the cake
22. Place the strawberries, white flowers and leaves on one side of the cake (again, I used 5 bunches for each row)
23. Repeat the other side using blueberries
24. Place the signs at the end of each row.
