Anyone you know in your life addicted to candy? Well, I've got a neat idea for you! Dave absolutely LOVES candy, well any kind of sweets that is, so I decided to do something a little different for his birthday this year. In addition to his gifts and ice cream cake, I decided to make him a candy cake! I simply took a few different size tin cans from Michaels and stacked them on top of each other. To make them stick to each other, I used packing tape. Once I got the shape and height I wanted I started to put double-sided tape on candy bars that I had bought. I had bought all different kinds of candy bars, both full size and fun size from Target. You can use whatever candy your heart desires! I then began to tape the candy bars around the tins, filling up every inch of space. I then topped it off with a big blue bow! It was a very simple project that I think turned out wonderfully and I think Dave will agree. I seem to remember him having 3 full sized candy bars in one sitting. Can we say chocolate overload?!?! :) All in all, I'm happy with the way it turned out. Next time I might try wrapping the candy bars in different color paper/wrapping paper to match a certain theme (think bridal shower, baby shower, graduation, etc.).
Now that you've reminded him, Dave will want another "cake".
