Our Sleepover Cake Interpretation.
We saw this recipe in a cookbook I recent bought for my Niece’s Birthday — We thought it was so clever and cute that we made it during a sleepover at a family cabin in Lake Arrowhead. That’s us on the cake from left to right, my sister Ami, Niece Lexi, Mom, Me and Niece Bailee.
We look a bit like zombies, but it was fun to make. Our heads are Nilla Wafers, the pillows are Marshmallows, and the bodies are Twinkies. We used Jawbreakers for the eyes, sweet and sour Candy Rope for the bed skirt and trim, and made a Milk Chocolate Cake instead of a Vanilla one.
Here’s a picture of the book cover and recipe. The original looks more polished — It was harder to make than we expected. It’s tricky frosting over the Twinkies, we added toothpicks to hold them in place. The softer the Frosting and bed trim Candy, the better. It was a cool experience together.
Our Cake was posted on Culinarty by Lore as one of (10) Original Food Photos. Take a look at it there and check out her other picks. They are all pretty amazing. Thanks Lore.
