Mother's Day Dessert Ideas (Chocolate Garden & Strawberry Roses)
Are you looking for a Mother's Day Dessert Idea? Look no further. This chocolate cake topped with strawberry roses is an edible garden. Since my mom loves gardening and eating new desserts, this chocolate cake garden is a great Mother's Day gift idea. All you need is Betty Crocker's cake mix and icing, crushed OREO's, pretzel rods, strawberries, blueberries and grapes. It's so much fun to build this chocolate garden cake and it's kid friendly.

Make a 13” x 9” chocolate cake according to the instructions on the box. Let it cool.
In the meantime, slide 2-3 green grapes on a skewer. Slide on the strawberry and carve the strawberry petals (watch the YouTube video above for instructions). Add a blueberry on top. Repeat this step for 9 more strawberry roses.
Use the pretzel rod to measure how much chocolate cake goes inside the planter box.
Use icing in between the layers and to cover the outside.
Stack the pretzel rods vertically along the sides of the cake (do not stack pretzel rods on the top surface).
Place the OREO cookies in a bag. Using a rolling pin, crush the cookies. Add cookie chunks to the top of the cake.
