I'm not sure that this cake even deserves a spot on this roster, but I did make it so it's only fair.
I did not go to my brother's house for the holidays expecting to make my nephew a cake for his birthday. So, the day before his birthday when we were planning the next day of celebration, we determined we needed a cake. And, while Cohen was not super particular, he mentioned wanting a WWII cake to go with the video game he is currently playing. That seemed easy enough so I offered to see what I could do. No tools, no pans, not my kitchen, and no fancy prep. But, it's okay to do last minute creative things sometimes.
So, I headed to the store and purchased the last 3 WWII vehicles the toy department had, a bunch of cake and frosting, as well as various candies and cookies that could help make things look like land. The only new creative endeavor was to use jello as a means to turn my vanilla frosting tan and brown. It didn't work great, but it did enough for what I had time for. The rest was strategic placement of crushed graham crackers, cookies, marshmallows, and chocolate covered raisins.
Allie and Andy even won some army men at the arcade we went to for Cohen's birthday and they were added to the cake. Thus, we ended up with this:
