Ling Ling the Panda Bear

I had a friend ask me to make this for a birthday a while back... I saw it on my computer today and thought I would share it with everyone.

    My sister loves pandas. She would adore a cake like this. Too bad I don't have the skills to make it.

    Lisa - I shouldn't admit this but it is actually rather easy to make and the molding pan for it is very versatile (easy but a little time consuming and my hands start to cramp from the icing bag). You can use the same mold to make a teddy bear, panda bear, frog, elephant... you name it. My local cake shop sales the pan but you can also buy it at http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?sku=2105-603

Cayenne Pepper Mix together and chill to blend flavors.

In all honesty I did find them to be tasty and a lot like a traditional 7 Layer Bar except with a brownie base instead of the traditional grahm crackers.  I made the recipe as written but I figured in a time pinch you could easily use a box brownie mix made per the instructions on the box and topped with all the yummy toppings.  I have a mixed feeling about them because I personally found there to be too many toppings so I would have probably scaled them back (but take that for what its worth because I am not really into desserts I just like making them) but my friends love...
