Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive August 2004: Please help need some ideas!!
Hi moms,
This is one I did and it was nice...
The Jello cake is so cute! I'll have to remember that idea. Let us know what you decide to do, Brooke.
A Variation On Dirt Cake 1 – (32 ounce) package of Vanilla Sandwich cookies 1 – (8-ounce) package cream cheese 1 – cup powdered sugar 1 – stick butter 2 - small packages vanilla pudding (dry) 3 - 1/2 - cups milk 1 – 12 ounce container Cool Whip} In a blender, finely chop sandwich cookies and set aside. In a bowl, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter. Set ingredients aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix vanilla pudding and milk. Next, fold in the Cool Whip. Finally, fold in the cream cheese mixture. In a new, clean, beach bucket, place the Cool Whip mixture on the bottom. Add the cookies, then Cool Whip mixture, then cookies, and keeping alternating the layers. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving. Place a clean new sand shovel into the cake. Top with small sand toys and some clean shells.
I did a pool cake for my dd's birthday last year. I baked the cake (9x11) then cut out the center and poured half gelled blue jello in the center and let it finish gelling. Then decorated the outside with icing and put Polly Pockets in their lawn chairs and paper umbrellas over their heads. It was very cute. I used a jelly lifesaver and had a Polly floating in the pool. Very cute. This year for other dd I did beach cupcakes, I iced them with blue icing and then sprinkled crushed graham crackers on about half of the cupcake and then cut a fruit rollup to look like a beach towel and a dab of icing on top and laid a Teddy graham on the towel and an umbrella over head. Very cute and a big hit with the kids!
I just looked at the one that Kernkate posted and it is like a combo of my two that I did. Funny.
I always wanted to try the mud cake in the flower pot - you know where crumbled oreos are the dirt with chocolate pudding for mud with gummy worms and candied rocks?? I think Martha Stwert did one, and Family Fun must have - they always have the coolest ideas....
I love the one on family fun, the snorkler. I also made the fish last year it was easy and cute!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I appreciate all your help. I did the swimming pool one with the life saver gummys and the teddy grams, it was a huge hit, the kids loved it and I used the funfetti cake mix and it tasted great too.Thanks for all of your help.
