Pizza Cake

This isn't exactly a recipe but this was my (with the help of my hubby) attempt to make a "pizza" cake for my dad's birthday. I think it turned out great considering this was my first attempt at making a decorative cake. On the other hand, I would say it didn't taste that great unless you like lots and lots of sugar.



We used an entire bottle of red food coloring in the icing to make the sauce. The pepperoni was made out of strawberry fruit roll-ups. The cheese was shredded melting candies. And the black olives were made out of black cake icing. We did try to draw out green bell peppers but that was very unsuccessful.

Bit of history - My dad has spent two long years building a gazebo that contains a massive grill and a built in brick pizza oven. The pizza oven is his baby and makes the best pizza EVER. Over the course of the night we consumed 18 pizzas between 15 people. I will try and post some pictures of the gazebo at some point.
