The Fenced in Cake

So, I decided to take inspiration from Pinterest and then create a fenced in backyard cake...I took the "garden theme" and went a little  EXTREME, to the point that I was in Safeway at 2:30 am on the verge of tears because they were out of Strawberry Pocky (or most likely do not carry it). 
So, here is what you need:
  • a box of strawberry cake (I know! How Ballard of me, shocking.)
  • 2 boxes of Strawberry Pocky
  • 2  boxes (possibly 3 boxes) of Chocolate Pocky -chocolate Pocky that is purchased at Safeway in the early AM breaks more than any other Pocky I have ever purchased...EVER
  • 1 container of cream cheese frosting (I personally LOVE the target brand...)
So, make the cake in a rectangular pan.  let it cool.  Frost with the cream cheese frosting.  Then, start putting only strawberry Pocky on your cake.  The dipped part should be facing down. Push it into the frosting while it is still soft, the frosting is going to act like glue.  Now, get about half way through the cake and look at the clock.  ERMEHGAAAAAD!!! It's 2:30 am and you are totally out of strawberry Pocky.  What are you going to do now idiot? Safeway, you little gem, open 24 hours.  Head out to Safeway.  Did you know that they have an "ethnic food" aisle? Well, some WEIRDO walked down it an hid all of the Pocky, but this little detective found it all, after having a  panic attack, behind the Panda candy.  BOOYAH.

Go home, find your roommate has started drinking whiskey at 3am in "preparation" for her Bar exam, and then alternate your Pocky, chocolate/strawberry around then outside of the cake. This will require you to remove some of the original strawberry Pocky that you placed on the cake in the first place, so I suggest buying the appropriate amount the first time. Place the flowers that you impulse bought at your previous Safeway excursion in the middle.  Bam! Fenced in garden!  You're so AWESOME!
