Army Fort Birthday Cake Decorating
- 1). Place a thawed frozen pound cake upside down on a cake plate.
- 2). Spread chocolate cake frosting over the entire cake surface, smoothing it with a spatula.
- 3). Press 16 lady finger cookies into the sides of the cake parallel to the plate to create horizontal wooden planks of an army fort.
- 4). Combine the toasted coconut and vanilla cake frosting with several drops of green food coloring in a bowl, stirring until the coconut becomes grass green in color.
- 5). Spread the colored coconut on the cake plate around the fort for grass.
- 6). Arrange the green plastic army men on top of the coconut, using the frosting to adhere their feet to the cake plate so the figures stand upright.
- 7). Insert the American flag toothpick into the top of the cake to finish the look of the fort cake.
