Six- 6 inch cakes stacked rounds. buttercream frosting with lrg star tip. spaghetti for spines and buttercream flower. crushes choc. cookies for dirt, and placed in a plant saucer, purchased from Lowe's.. Funny story,I made this cake for my husbands work for Cinco De Mayo. While driving to work and transporting this cake that took me like 8 hours to make,he wasn't paying attention and almost ran a red light, resulting in him having to slam on the brakes and sent the cake flying!! Oh well,maybe next year!
