Kara's Parties offers this great idea for a showstopping cake with a simple double layer chocolate cake, oozing with delicious chocolate icing — no icing skills necessary. She places a paper cowboy cake topper peering out from behind some cactus cake toppers. She then artfully places a bag of loot and some chocolate coins on the cake plate. Boom, you've got an awesome-looking cowboy cake without too much effort.
