Nerf Gun Target Birthday Cake
This is what happens when your grandson guilts you into making his birthday cake because the lady that usually makes them quit!
He is obsessed with Nerf Guns and he wanted a Nerf Gun target cake. He saw one similar to this on line and asked me to make it.
His sister made the birthday banner then I used some new bullets to attach it to the cake.
Need I tell you how long it took to separate the yellow, orange and blue M & M’s from the huge container of multiple colors?
I do not like guns and he knows it, but he informed me this was not a gun cake but a target cake, such a sly child!
This is a chocolate cake, Hershey Homemade One Bowl Frosting, Kit Kats and of course M & M’s.
Happy 9th Nerfday Braylon!

Than you Beth, talk about a sugar rush! 🤣
This cake is fantastic. Kudos to you Grandmother.
Thank you so much Bernadette, it was exactly what he wanted.
You are amazing. Tell the truth now…don’t you wish we could have grandkids first!?
Awe thank you JC. I could have had grandkids the entire time. I always felt God put me on this Earth to be with kids.
What an amazing cake, Diane! You are an awesome grandma and I bet he enjoyed it very much. Happy birthday to your grandson!
Thank you so much Ab. He has me wrapped around his little finger! Not the way I normally would decorate a cake but he loved it.
You are so creative, Diane💜
I love making cakes Jonetta, I used to sell them but due to a health issue had to stop. This is my first candy cake but it was exactly how he wanted it. Lol
I’m with you on guns. Cute cake though and wow a lot of work. Hope he appreciates it and you!
Thank you Katelon! He definitely appreciated it, he told me I should keep the cake that was leftover because I worked so hard making it. Lol I said no it’s your cake to take home.
So the birthday party was at your house?
Yes, there was a bad storm the day before knocking out the power to my daughters house so she and the two grandkids came over to stay overnight.
Fun. So it wasn’t a big kids BD party but a family one. Nice.
Yes just his mom and sister and us. My kid party days are done! Lol
So, it wasn’t a big kids’ BD party but a family one. Nice.
Very cute! Happy Nerfday to Braylon!
Thank you Kellye, I’m just happy the cake is out of here, so much sweetness with all that candy. E#exactly what he wanted. Lol
Your grandson clearly knows how to wrap you around his little finger! I love the cake … where do you start eating this – the M&M’s or the delicious chocolate wall? Happy birthday little one 🎉.
Oh he sucked me right in! He said Grandma, I know you used to make cakes and sell them so you have to make mine because our cake lady isn’t doing it anymore. This wasn’t a cake it was a candy cake! I started by eating the Kit Kats on the side and went on from there. I told him to take the left over cake home! I think I gained 10 pounds eating just one piece! 🤣 There were 12 Kit Kat candy bars and a whole lot of M & M’s. Thank you Corna!
You gained 10 pounds eating just one piece? Well, I gained 10 pounds by just LOOKING at your photo 😂.
😂🤣😂
That is fantastic – great job on the fun cake!
Thank you Tierney! It was extremely sweet but of course that is what he wanted. Lol
You are a terrific grandmother!
Awe thank you Karla!
What a clever grandchild and grandmother!
Awe thank you Leslie! I would much rather decorate a cake with my decorating tips instead of all that candy. Lol
You are gifted to create such a special themed birthday cake! Your grandson will always carry fond memories of that artful and yummy birthday cake!
Thank you Mary, it’s not the way I would normally decorate a cake but it was exactly what he asked for. Lol
A beautiful cake, Diane! Happy Birthday to Braylon!
Thank you Anita! 🥰
So creative! And he will always remember this cake!
He sure will and grandpa hung up pegboards on two walls in his bedroom for him to display his Nerf Guns.
What a good Grandpa!
Yes he definitely is!
What a special grandmother you are Diane! All those Kit Kat bars took a while to take apart as well – that very clever! Happy birthday Braylon!
Thank you Linda. I never buy candy bars and had a heck of a time getting the wrappers off. Then I broke them in half so they could make the round shape, they come with four connected pieces. It was fun to make but really different from what I normally do with just frosting.
Lots of love went into that cake Diane – and not only a clever idea, but a big sugar high as well!
I thought I was going to go into AFib! 🤣
Ha ha – that was a LOT of chocolate! You needed to have your daughter present just in case you did.
Thankfully she was! 🤣
This is such a fun nerfday cake. It sounds like a family project with your grandson finding what he wanted online and your granddaughter making the sign and of course your hard work of sorting and eating.🤣 So cute!
Thank you Linda. What really made him happy is the electricity went out at their house and they had to come here for supper and to sleep the day before his birthday. When he walked in my house the cake was in the oven. He did a chocolate happy dance! 🤣
I’m a big M&Ms fan so of course I like this one!! Fun 😁🎉
Aren’t we all! Thank you Christy!
