I made my dad a birthday cake this weekend...
Triple fudge cake mix
Caramel filling (intended, but caramel didn't turn out quite right, so it was more of a cream filling)
Fudge ganache frosting
Pirouette cookies "sticks"
Melted butterscotch and cinnamon hard candies "flames"






Edited to ADD:
This is where I got the idea-

Fantastic.
I like your version better than the sample pic.
Great job!

Thank you! I think next time I'll try to get the flames thinner, and wispier, but I was multi-tasking as I made them, and kind of skipped the step of crushing the candy!

I did my candy last night and I'm putting the cake together tonight. The candy came out really thin and kind of shattered all over. I didn't get bigger pieces like you have but I'll make it work. I couldn't find those cookies but my kid gave me the brilliant idea of those new cereal straws in Coco Puffs (brown) woo hoo!
