I myself don’t own a terrarium because I cannot be trusted to keep any plant alive, but I think terrariums are so cool. I’ve noticed how popular they are recently, so when we got these chocolate crunchies in I knew a terrarium cake must be made! I filled my terrarium jar with chocolate cake batter about 1 inch deep, set the whole jar on a cookie sheet, and baked. I was a little nervous about baking in something not labeled for baking, but it worked beautifully! Please bake at your own risk though. After cooling I poured in some chocolate crunchies, enough to resemble a nice layer of top soil. I then tinted decorator frosting with a 50/50 mix of leaf green and forest green gel paste coloring and filled my frosting bag fitted with a round cupcake frosting tip. I generously pipped in blobs and swirls of frosting and sprinkled with green non-pareils for a mossy feel. Then I tucked in some candy rocks here and there and topped with 2 totally cute chocolate mushroom lollipops. Learn to make the mushrooms here.
