April Fools Dessert: Kitty Litter Cake

It is time to revisit the KITTY LITTER CAKE....

PERFECT for April Fool's Day!

Pretty icky, Right?  Let's get started.

Step 1: Assemble Ingredients

Baking pans from the dollar store (same size as the litter pan)

Nerds (for fancy green specs found in cat litter)

Tootsie Rolls (for, well, the Poop)

 Step 2: Prepare the pan

Cat litter Pan (this is just a regular old tupperware container)

Found at the dollar store!

I baked two cakes in total, enough to fill up the litter box :)

 TIP: Please oh PLEASE.....

Run the "cat litter pan" through your dish washer!  

Maybe even do this step a couple of times just to be safe.

Step 3: Layer the cake in the pan. 

(I cut up one layer and stacked it along the edge so there were no random open spaces along the edge)

Step 4: Cover with Frosting

 Step 5:  Make the cat litter

Grind up about 20 sandwich cookies.

I found that the tuxedo cookies worked great for the coloring!

Step 6: Cover cake with cat litter!

 Step 7: Add green odor specs

aka... Nerds candy

 

 Step 8:   Prepare the Tootsie Rolls :)

Heat in the microwave for 5 seconds and unwrap

Step 9:  Get Creative ... make poop!

(KidMo LOVED helping on this step!)

I shaped two Tootsie Rolls in the shape of a "40"

for my Brother's Birthday :)

 Ta-Da!

And now you can make your very own Cat Litter Cake!

 Oh... and don't forget to pick up a pooper scooper while you are at the Dollar Store! 
It makes a perfect accent to the cake :)

OK - Let the comments ROLL in!
What do you REALLY think of this cake?

Funny?
Disgusting?

Let's hear it! :)

 My family had a blast with the cake.

April Fool's Day: Eggs and Bacon

Yummmm.... Eggs and Bacon!

April Fools! :)

This is what KidMo is waking up to tomorrow morning.

I can't wait to see his reaction.

The idea comes from THIS website. 

Great ideas all over the blogosphere for April Fool's Day.

For the eggs, I placed a piece of wax paper in the microwave and two small piles of white chocolate chips (about 8-10 in each pile).

Then, I microwaved just until they started to melt. 

Smashed them around into an "egg" shape and placed 1 yellow M&M in the middle.

Bacon: Two Tootsie Rolls

Heat these SLOW.

Do not heat them for 30 seconds. Just a warning, not that I happen to know they will bubble up and nearly explode in your Microwave.

5 seconds should do the trick.

Then, use your fingers to stretch out into a small peice of bacon. I used the handle side of a butter knife to make the indents.

Ta-Da!

What April Fool's day traditions does your family have?
