I am making a barn cake, and wanted to make the roof with rice krispies but ran out (and the stores are closed today because of Canada Day) so...what is the best thing to make the roof with???
(and its not tall enough for me to just carve it down....I don't want it to be a short barn!)

any suggestions would be appreciated as my cake is sitting there waiting for a roof!!

thanks

What other cereal do yuou have on hand? Lightly crush cornflakes (or any flaked cereal); Kix type; really most anything.

cookies, graham crakers? or you could sub cherrios or another cereal for the rice crispies if its just the cereal you are out of.

can you cut and stack a 2" layer as shown?

cuts are 1/4 the width of cake

unfortunately I only had a half box of cheerios and some others with raisins....BUT luckily I found a convenience store that was open and got more rice krispies...

thanks for the replies!! I can always count on CCers for some good responses!!

happy caking!!
