I made this Homemade Treasure Chest Birthday Cake Idea for my 4 year old son. I baked a rectangle shape and a square shaped chocolate cake, then I cut them to make 3 rectangles the same size. I used one of the off cuts to make a wedge. After sticking 2 of the rectangles together with chocolate butter icing, I stuck the wedge on top around half way.
Then I iced over that and placed the 3rd rectangle on top to make the lid. After icing the whole cake, I used a fork to try and make a wood pattern. Then I used gold and silver coins that can be brought around Christmas time, mini M&M’s, and candy necklaces to look like the treasure.
The kids loved this cake, the coins were a big hit.
