Step 1
Place a 10” double layer round cake on a 12” foil cake board and an 8” double layer round cake on an 8” cake board. Base ice both cakes with white icing.

Tip: Check out How-To Base Ice a Cake for step-by-step instructions.
-
Step 2
Use a serrated knife to carefully saw graham crackers to the height of the 10” cake. Adhere to sides of cake, using additional white icing if the base icing has become dry.
-
Step 3
Carefully fill a pastry bag with hot fudge and cover the top of the 10” cake. Starting in the center, pipe chocolate in a spiral, working outward to the edge. Allow fudge to drizzle down the sides.
Tip: Cover the top and sides with chocolate in a continuous motion to achieve a smooth finish.
-
Step 4
Measure 3 poly dowel rods to height of 10” cake and trim. Insert into cake.
-
Step 5
Use a plastic decorator’s scraper to roughen the base icing on the 8” cake. Then, press mini marshmallows into the icing, covering the sides all around the cake.
-
Step 6
Use a crème brulee torch to toast marshmallows lightly.
Tip: You can use yellow or brown airbrush color as an alternate to a crème brulee torch.
-
Step 7
Stack 8” cake on top of 10” cake. Do not stack before using the torch or you risk melting the chocolate.
-
Step 8
Place Camping DecoSet® Cake Topper on top. Then, use Large Grass Decorating Tip #234 and Olive Green Icing to pipe grass around edges of the DecoSet. Place one tree on each side.
