DIY Survivor Birthday Cake!
After freezing both of the cake layers, we frosted the middle portion with whipped chocolate frosting, and then stacked the cakes.
To do the Survivor logo, we simply printed one we found online onto paper, and mounted it to a thin piece of cardboard. Done and Done! Who says everything on a cake has to be edible!? 😁
Then we cut the cake into the oval shape we wanted, and frosted the rest.
We found that the whipped frosting just goes on SO much easier, and spreads nicely! The Pirouline cookies can be a bit pricey, but come on… they’re so cute as a ‘bamboo fence!”. And the crushed graham crackers are the perfect “sand”. Oh! and the little, edible rock candies, in small and large, were purchased at a party supply store for a few dollars. Or you can snag them on Amazon!
Just line those cute cookies up around the frosting so they stick well, spread the graham cracker sand around and adhere the rock candies to the base of everything with a bit of frosting.

HI Shelley- I am so HAPPY the logo is a printable. I was thinking, "Dang, what can this girl not do!" This is the cutest cake and it looks like a baker made it. Love the pudding suggestion. My S-In_law gave me a cookie recipe with vanilla pudding and it had the same effect… soft! Can't use the word moist… it just bugs me! ha! Happy Spring! xo from Denver laur

I am a huge Survivor fan as well. I'm trying to figure out the printable logo. Is it printed onto cardstock, or is it edible as well? Gotta know!!
