Tune in next week to see how we made this My Little Pony Drip Layered Cake! x Elle
While shopping for ingredients to bake our cookies, we found Arnott’s Rice Cookies! They are almost identical to what we were going to bake and saved us time and effort!
We simply melted white chocolate in the microwave, added Americolor food dye and sprinkled toppings we collected from

Each blogger was sent a blank papier-mâché deer head in the post to personalise and display at the event. I smothered mine in PVA glue and sprinkled the entire thing in 100’s & 1000’s!
Here’s one I made!
Join us in celebrating 
In a large bowl, crumble the cake with your fingers
Roll the crumbs into smooth balls. If your cake is too crumbly, use a splash of milk or cream to help it combine
Dip those balls into the melted red chocolate and place them in the freezer to set for a few minutes. Then dip the tips in the black chocolate for Gaston’s face. We added extra red powdered food dye to make our Gastons super bright. We found the chocolate was quite thick, so we also added a few drops of vegetable oil for a runnier dip
We found these gorgeous edible googley eyeballs from our local cake supply shop. You could substitute these with a spot of white and black chocolate
To complete the look, draw a stripe down the centre and a few spots with the black chocolate. You could use an icing pen but we made a piping bag by filling up a small snap lock snack bag with melted warm runny chocolate and snipped a tiny hole in one corner. We also pipped a red smile and rosy cheeks for extra Gaston life-likeness 🙂
Ta-da! Poke the bugs on cake-pop sticks and stand them up on a Styrofoam cake-stand. Keep them in the fridge before serving. Yum!
