IHC: Garbage Cake

The perfect April Fool's Day dessert - Garbage Cake!

You'll need:
  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix
  • parchment paper
  • 1 tub of chocolate frosting
  • long pretzel rods
  • candies - especially gummy worms, but anything else that looks gross or garbage-y

The really impressive part about this is that I actually got around to reading a parenting magazine. Thank you, Family Fun, for the cool idea. Here's how to do it: Bake a chocolate cake mix in a 9 x 13 pan. It helps to line the bottom with parchment paper. When it has cooled, measure out the length of the pretzel sticks and cut. On a tray, smear the whole thing, sides included, with chocolate frosting. No need for smooth strokes. Line the sides with the pretzel rods, then on top stick whatever candy you want. Get creative! I took Peppermint Patties and cut a circle from the middle (just the dark chocolate part) to make wheels.
