Last weekend was Jay's nephew Samuel's birthday. Sam wanted an Indiana Jones Cake for his birthday, too. So that gave me the chance to revisit this "Temple of Doom". I skipped the stratigraphy cake and made it only chocolate, since no actual archaeologists were present this time. And instead of baking the dome in a bowl, I used the Betty Crocker baseball pan, that gives you the option of creating a hollow cake to be filled. Since it was the Temple of Doom, I filled it with sour gummy snakes. I lost the flowers as well and made the greenery more jungle like. I was very happy with the result and I think the half dozen 9-year olds agreed. Compare it yourself.

Karin,
I adore both of your Indiana Jones cakes!
My son will be 7 at the end of the month and is *SO* into Legos & Ind. Jones. For his birthday we are going to do a treasure hunt and make a cave out of two refrigerator boxes. We found your cake and he went nuts!
What I would like to know is: Which set did you use on the cake or was it piece meal?
Thanks!
Cherise
Hi Karin
Awesome cake! I made an Indy cake for my son's 9th birthday today.
It's crazy that a father and his son can have the same hero!
Mandrake can you email me a picture of your cake? I would love to see it! I'm planning an Indiana Jones party for my 5 year old and we love this cake, too! Thanks - hrsport89@yahoo.com

Hi mandrake!
I loved the pyramid idea. When I first started looking for Indiana Jones Cakes on the Web there was nothing; off course with the movie it is taking off now.
