Go On Dig In ! Litter Box Cake! Mmmmm! Blahhh!

 
If you don't have a sense of humor then this post isn't for you...but in case you do......... Made this for my best friends birthday! Just think what I'd make if I didn't like the person ~ lol!

Easy Instructions:

Bake a German Chocolate Boxed Cake as directed in a 13 X 9 foil pan

Let cool

Remove from foil pan and cut it in half. You will only use half of this cake total so you can freeze the other half.

Cut cake into small 1 inch cubes or even smaller. Put back in foil pan.

Prepare 1 small "Cook n Serve" box of vanilla pudding and let cool. Spoon pudding over cake cubes.

Stir until very smooth and kind of runny 1 container of Coconut Pecan Frosting. Spoon about half of the container randomly over the cake cubes and pudding.

Remove frosting from between the layers of a package of Golden Oreos and crush finely. Reserve about a 1/4 cup.

Add blue and green food coloring to reserved cookie crumbs ~ I sprinkled a little water in to get the color even. This is to represent chlorophyll in cat litter.

Sprinkle the Golden Oreos over the cake, pudding and frosting.

Warm about 1 dozen Tootsie rolls in microwave for only 5-10 secs. You want them warm to the touch so you can mold them into the "kitty treats"! Hang one over the edge of the litter box for a very gross and disgusting added touch. Form others by twisting slightly and touch a few together for longer poops.

Lay them however you please on top of the cookie crumbs.

Sprinkle the chlorophyll very sparsely and now you're ready to make everyone laugh and gag at the same time!

Time to enjoy!

You can always buy a new litter box and pooper scoop if you really want to make this realistic! Newspaper adds a funny touch too!

Basket full of hand warmers - this thing weighs over 25 lbs!

I have been the biggest Blog slack....I'm terrible! My life is so different these days. I've been at my parents house getting ready for the holidays. I made 42 sets of hand warmers....they took a long while but I really like how they turned out! Hopefully our dinner guests will enjoy them too.
I had some left over feed corn so I made my big fat cat an extra EXTRA large pillow size one for her cat house out on the back porch. She loves it! I pop it in the microwave for 2 1/2 mins a few times a day and she's in heaven : )
U hope everyone's having a great holiday season thus far! Only a few more days!

I'm Back - and with a NAME change!

Hello All!
Yes you could say I really did fall off the face of the planet but I'm back. In all honesty I was sparing all of you from my up and down roller coaster of a failing marriage. I'm finally ready to go public with the news.....but I'll still spare you from the details. Just know that I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of blogging, creating and finding happiness again
I changed my Etsy shop name from GigiMinor to PinksAndNeedles which feels really good. My ex-husband called me Gigi and my married name was Minor so I'm going back to my God Given name of Annie Kight. I don't expect any of you to keep it straight but I thought I should at least make the effort to turn a fresh leaf so to speak.
Thank you to all of my friends and family that have seen me through this very intense past year. I don't know how I would've survived any of it without the late night phone calls and mid day rants to boot.
I'm still picking up the pieces and getting my head straight but I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. 
I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with all of you. If anyone is going through a hard time right now please feel free to leave a comment and let it all out! I'm here to listen.

Peace,
Annie
