It’s Father’s Day and when it comes to making a cake, we think we can do a whole lot better than that generic shirt and tie cake for our Dad …ugh. In fact, our Dad never even wore a tie to work. Our Dad is warm and funny and not at all generic, so we thought it was high time to make him a cake that was a tribute to the days when he worked long hours and after evening hugs, he’d sit and relax and have dinner in front of the television while he laughed with us and we filled him in about our day. This cake is easy, retro and so fun to make with kids that the entire family can get involved in this dressed up sheet cake.<\/p>\n

We started with a 9″ x 13″ aluminum grocery store sheet pan which really drives home the look of a TV Dinner. Don’t forget to spray the pan thoroughly so that your slices come out nice and easy. We then used a Chicken Drumstick Mold filled with candy coating to make realistic fried chicken with no skill at all and in 10 minutes flat. Sixlets and Starbursts stand in for the peas, corn and carrots and mounds of buttercream make for yummy mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

We used one box mix topped with store bought frosting to make this cake as simple as possible. But, if you’re eager to go from scratch, we recommend this chocolate cake<\/strong><\/a> and our American buttercream recipe<\/a><\/strong> to kick things up a notch.<\/p>\n

We hope you make this clever sheet cake for your “not so fancy” Dad and watch while his eyes light up on Father’s Day.<\/p>\n
