Chloe's Cake

...Okay, so cakes aren't my thing. That's okay, I still had fun making this sleepover cake for my 4YO niece, Chloe. The Denton Crew is coming to spend the weekend with us and my kids are fogging up the windows waiting for them to arrive. I thought I would distract them with a little culinary creativity.

The cake is inspired (okay, copied) from Family Fun magazine, but I added my own flair with Cricut letters. Have I mentioned how much I L.O.V.E. my Cricut? I even used it to decorate my husband's 9th grade World History classroom. I digress...

We used marshmallows for the pillows, nilla wafers for the heads, 1/2 twinkies for the bodies, and fruit by the foot for the bed decor. The whole process was a little surreal because my sister does this for a living. I kept asking myself, 'Why am I bothering?' The answer: because the 4YO will love it! (And it's been a long time since I've had cake.)
