Birthday Cake Construction

I get the Family Fun magazine and one of my favorite parts of the magazine are the cake ideas.  I found this barn cake idea before Isaiah even cake home.  However, I decided to use this specific cake idea after he came home because he had fun being a duck for Halloween and recently has really been into cows so I thought this would be a perfect cake for his 2nd birthday celebration.

My dad (Pops) was my main helper in constructing this amazing cake!  Thanks for all your help dad, I think it turned out great because of your great skills.

The cake construction team Pops and I (although a few others helped too).
Dad did not like laying all the Twizzlers, but he was a good sport and helped anyways!
This is the barn portion of the cake-completed! Appreciate the pretzel fence as it caused us some troubles too and may have made my dad have a small triangle.
My mom helped bake a second batch of cupcakes when we realized we needed to make more of the barn animals. 
My cousins, Kristin and Kelsey and sister, Elise were a great cupcake decorating team.
We made sure to include some cousin hangout silliness!
Travis helped too-by cutting some marshmallows in half.
PIGS!
COWS!
SHEEP!
CHICKS! (plus a couple cows)
