Pinned It and Did It

Today for my Pinned It and Did It, I tackled a recipe.
As, I said last week, I threw a party and a lot of the party took place outside by the fireplace.
I thought it would be fun to make a S'mores cake in honor of that.

I'll be honest, it took me a long time to find what I was looking for on Pinterest.
Everything was SO complicated.
I finally pinned this baby.

Pretty fancy huh? 

 Would I be able to pull this off at all??

 It was a 3 step process cake.

First I had to make the graham cracker crusts for

 the bottom and middle layers.

Then the actual cake and finally the marshmallow icing.

You can see I had some problems with cracking of the

 graham cracker crusts,

 but that was easily remedied with cake and icing.

Here is my finished product. 

 Not quite as fancy as the Pinterest picture, but then again,

 I am not a professional baker.

I will say using the creme brulee torch to brown the marshmallow

was fun though.

If you want to make this cake as well just pop on over here.

I will tell you that I totally cheated and used a boxed cake mix instead of the super intimating recipe they had for the cake.

Bottom Line:

The cake was good the day I made it and the second day,

 not so much after that.

It was a bit of work,

 but I was going for a theme, 

so it was worth it for me.
