Cowboy Cake

I got these new stencils a while back that I have been wanting to try out.  My friend gave me a chocolate cake recipe that I have also been wanting to try, so yesterday morning while everyone was asleep, I thought it was the perfect time to get crafty.
The chocolate cake turned out delicious!  I thought about making a rootbeer float cake, but think I will save that for a cupcake.  I did however find a chocolate recipe that uses root beer. It was super yummy, but not very root beery. 
With the stencil I just used cocoa powder and a flat ended brush.  So easy and so cute!
