Kitty Litter Cake. Mmmmm! What’s next? Frat house floor cake? Ugh! If I went to a party and this was brought to the table, I’d have to leave. I can barely stand to even look at this picture. Yesterday, I got laid up with a very bad sore throat. I was worried it might be strep, but I feel better today, so I’m not going to stress over it. Anyway, I decided to hunt online for a good birthday cake for Max’s party this weekend. I’m not opposed to some grossness for Halloween theme stuff, but this just goes beyond anything I’m willing to make. Or eat. A few years ago when Eric turned eleven, we did a fun Nickelodeon type party with really active, gooey games. I did an awesome cake for that. I made a lemon cake in a sheet pan. Then I cut it into squares and mounded them into a pyramid shape. Then I made the filling for lemon meringue pie and tinted it with neon green food coloring. When it cooled a little bit, I poured it over my cake mound and then added gummy worms to the layers. It was very cool- kind of like a big Shrek sneeze! The coolest part was how good it tasted! I’d like to make that again in a pretty version. I am still without a cake idea for Max’s party though. Any suggestions? He does want a Halloween theme.
