This was my daughter's 8th birthday cake! I asked her what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday and she said M&M's. Where she came up with that idea I have no clue. So I decided to make an M&M bag that looks like it was ripped open and all the M&Ms pouring out of it and make the characters to go with it. All the M&M characters are hand made and all edible. Needless to say she LOVED it. The look on her face was priceless!
