Kitty-litter Cake

By Rand E. Creitz

     This is designed for a birthday party or other large group. Kids are fascinated with it.

    1 standard kitty-litter box, bought new, washed thoroughly and used only for this recipe

    1 pooper-scooper, same as litter box in handling directions

      DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN AND USE A LITTER BOX THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN USED!!!!!

1 white cake mix

    1 spice cake or chocolate cake mix

    1 pkg vanilla pudding mix

    1 pkg butterscotch or chocolate pudding mix

    Large container of whipped cream

    1# bag of vanilla wafers, crushed into  small crumbs

    10-12 small Tootsie-Rolls

    Green food coloring

  Prepare cake and pudding mixes according to directions and set aside. Cakes need to be completely cooled and puddings well chilled.

  Crumble cakes into litter box. Combine and add puddings, mixing gently, and then mix in the whipped cream. Level the top and shake crushed vanilla wafers over it evenly, reserving about 1 cup. In a zipper bag, shake remaining crumbs with enough food color to saturate, sprinkling them over the top of the rest of the crumbs (this will be the chlorophyll in the kitty litter). Place the tootsie-rolls on a plate and microwave until just softened, but not melted. Shape the tootsie rolls into facsimilies of what a cat uses the box for and distribute around the top of the cake. Serve with the pooper-scooper.

   Be ready for a reaction!

       Enjoy!
