On Saturday my oldest daughter had a big birthday party. For the third time in a row she asked for a Rice Crispy Cake with a chocolate filling for her party. I always complain when I have to make it because I so like to bake, instead I stand there fighting the goo.
This time I used 2 springpans instead of regular cake pans and found that a bit easier. The trick is to let it harden enough, but not too much so that the cake remains sticky for decorating. I decorated it with fruit leather shapes that I cut out with cookie cutters.
She loved it and I promise not to complain when I have to make it again next year – well maybe a little bit.
What a fun cake! I might just try it for my son’s birthday.
This cake has definitely an advantage when the kids eat it: it is not messy! Although it might hurt, when they start throwing it…
I made a less attractive version of this cake, this afternoon for a school BBQ. Yours came out much neater, but I love the idea. With practice mine should look less like a rice crispy lump and more like a cake! Thanks for posting this.
You are welcome! I bet your cake tasted great! As to the appearance: It helps if you mutter a few choice words under your breath while preparing it ; )
