Transformers Birthday Cake -6

J is now 6 years old and getting into superheros and technology.  He chose to have a Transformers cake this year.  I made a 9×11 sheet cake and frosted it with gray street colored frosting.  I added smaller squares of cake for the buildings and made windows by cutting mini marshmallows in half. I added green shrubs around the buildings with frosting too.  I made a stop sign with lollipops and wrote “six” on them instead of “stop”.  I placed a few of his mini Transformer toys on the graham cracker road and on the buildings.  Here the “6” candle is backwards… I didn’t notice until I got the pictures back, but otherwise he loved it.
