Hello Divas!  I have big news... not as big as my sister's, but what the heck... I am the proud mother of a THREE year old.  How did this happen? It went by so fast, too fast.  I just can't believe that my baby is three.

This little boy of mine is all boy.  He has a love for tractors, diggers, dump trucks and all things construction.  Rocks and dirt are a favorite of his as well.  In fact, to say that my son has a bit of an obsession with rocks is a HUGE understatement.  It was only fitting that I create a cake that included all of the above mentioned boy things.

While searching on the beloved site Pinterest, I came across this beauty of cake.  I can't even express my gratitude to Lauren from Fredillicious!  THANK YOU for the INCREDIBLE idea of both the outside and inside of the cake!  She is brilliant I tell you, BRILLIANT!!

Here is how my cake turned out...

  

My version of this cake is only slightly different than the original, so I thought I would share what I did just in case it can help someone.

In the original cake, Lauren used frosting to create her construction cones.  I am not a pro with frosting and not a huge fan of frosting either so I decided to make the cones out of my child's favorite candies, starbursts, dots, and candy corn.

Here is the simple step-by-step of what I did to create the constructions cones and construction road signs.
