I'm making this cake for my nephew for his first birthday:

 

Do you guys know what I could use for the 'grass' part of the cake? I'm wondering if there are sour twizzlers or something along those lines that would be green...

Don't they make sour straws, or something?  I seem to remember eating those as a kid.

Great idea for a cake, btw!

No ideas other than Dehko's sour straws, but this is a super cute cake!

First, SO cute.

Second, it looks like a green version of the red licorice laces candy.  Google search for a green version and it does exist, here you go.  http://www.allancandy.com/node/178

Sour patch straws, green apple. Do you have a party city near you, they have candy out the butt.

I was thinking sour straws too:

The sour patch straws might be something I can get my hands on! These are some good ideas.

The second problem is that I'm a procrastinator and I have to put this sucker (and my nieces') together on Saturday for the party on Sunday. I don't think I'm going to have time to order candy. I'm googling now to see if we have a Party City...

Oh, and my sister sent me the picture of the cake from Pinterest. It's adorable.

I hope I can at least get it to some resemblance of this one!

If you can't find the candy, you could probably do some rolled fondant in the green.

Ooo, ooo, you know what would be cute? What if you got mini marshmallows just wet enough to roll in cocoa (to make them brown) and somehow put them on top of the straws so they looked like cat-tails?

Maybe?
Maybe not?
