I made this for a Candyland themed combination party for my son and daughter age 3 and 7. I used colored sugar instead of food color spray and Hershey's Kisses instead of peanut butter cups due to a peanut allergy. It was a huge hit and so fun to make. Thanks for the great idea!

I made this cake for my daughter's 5 birthday. I did home-made cake and frosting. It turned out wonderful! The only thing I did different was instead of using food color spray, I used colored sugar and sprinkled it all over the bare parts and it made it taste much better too! Had a hard time finding candy canes in summer time so I did without.

This is a really fun cake. The kids love to decorate it, and you get rid of candy from past holidays fast! I made two cakes last year for all 8 of the cousins arriving. They were divided into two groups to decorate, and we had a contest for best cake. Thanks!

Hi! It's in the Aug/Sep 2007 issue. There is a picture of the original version as well. I like them both, and will incorporate my own ideas into the one I will make for my son's 5th birthday in April! I think it will be really fun and not too stressful, such as last year's double layer cake I made shaped like Mickey Mouse head with all his featues plus a hat! It came out cute but I thought I would have to stab myself with the frosting knife before I was done. This at least is a sheet cake to build on top of. I'm going to start collecting (and eating!) various, interesting and pretty candies now.

Can any one tell me what issue of Taste of home this recipe was in, I would like to see the picture in the magazine and I can't figure out what edition it was in. Thanks

"My friend asked me to make her son's 5th birthday cake, and when I asked her what he wanted on it, she said, 'Oh, just put on gobs and gobs of candy,'" recalls Pen Perez of Berkeley, California. "Instead of piling on candy haphazardly, I thought it should look like the Candy Land board game." The birthday boy and his friends and family members loved it!
