Peanuts cake was for one of my twin daughters. She's a major Snoopy fan and was so excited to get this for her birthday.

Ingredients:

Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake recipe found at http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp?id=184 and modified with coffee in place of boiling water to enhance chocolate flavor.

1 batch chocolate buttercream icing

1 batch regular buttercream

1 chocolate transfer print sheet

1 batch marshmallow fondant in white

8 ounces of marshmallow fondant in gold

1 pkg of Wilton's white chocolate candy melts

1 pkg of Wilton's dark chocolate or black candy melts

1 black food writer

 

Directions:

Cake is Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake filled with chocolate buttercream and covered with rolled chocolate (modeling chocolate). Cake was baked in a Wilton's Piano Pan. Snoopy is hand molded from sugar paste. The carpet is made of fondant with a chocolate transfer sheet transferred on with a blow dryer for the print. Carpet trim was made from gold fondant. Piano keys are melted candy disks set in layers in a chocolate mold. To enhance the black on the keys I used a black food writer. Due to time constraints, (had a Bear in Big Blue House cake to make at the same time for twin daughters' b-day), Schroeder, Pig Pen, candalabra and cello are plastic figurines.
