Kitty Litter Cake

Tuesday
Dec 11,2007

1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 package white sandwich cookies
1 large package vanilla instant pudding mix
12 small tootsie rolls
1 litter box (Maybe spring for a new one!)
1 plastic scoop
green food coloring

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions. Prepare pudding
mix and chill until ready to assemble.

Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend
to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4
cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a
fork or shake in a jar.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl.
Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled
pudding. You probably won’t need all of the pudding, mix with the cake
and test it, you don’t want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Put
mixture into clean litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat
until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt,
curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in
mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.

Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed
to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining Tootsie
Rolls, three at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape
them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Place the box
on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve
with a new pooper scooper or an old one for added flavor.

  • Gelatin Eyeballs

    Tuesday
    Dec 11,2007

    3 oz lemon gelatin
    1 cup hot water
    1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
    1 cup pineapple juice
    1 8-0z. pkg cream cheese
    1 cup heavy cream, whipped
    1 cup mayonnaise

    Dissolve lemon gelatin in 1 cup water in double boiler, add marshmallows and stir to melt. Remove from heat. Add pineapple juice and cream cheese. Beat until well blended. Cool slightly. Fold in whipped cream and mayo. Chill until thickened or firm for scooping into eyeballs.

    Using a melonballer, scoop full balls of the mixture and set aside for decoration. To decorate, use food coloring and an old paintbrush and get creative. You will need black food coloring for the pupils. Also, if you are in a hurry, instead of painting the colored irises, you can dip the ball in a small pool of food coloring to approximate the iris, but still paint on the pupils.

    You can also use rubber ice cube trays that work beautifully with much less waste than the melonballer technique. You can spray the rubber trays with non-stick cooking spray beforehand like you would any gelatin mold, let the gelatin mixture sit in the refrigerator to set, then carefully pop the eyeballs out to paint them. Some of the eyeballs can break, and they do have one flat side, but that actually works, since then they don’t roll around while you are trying to paint them.

    These are very fragile, but enough stayed intact to give the desired effect…use a decorating tube to pipe the icing into spider shapes on waxed paper. They are made from Royal Icing, which needs to be used right away since it hardens to a rocklike texture very quickly!

    Royal Icing
    16 oz powdered sugar (icing sugar)
    3 egg whites
    1/2 tsp cream of tartar
    Beat until peaks firmly hold their shape, and the more you beat it, the firmer it gets.

    I only made a third of this recipe and I still had tons of icing left over after making two dozen Tip: Use black paste food coloring to get it as dark you can.
