Easter Basket Cake

The PTO is having a Fun Night for the students at our school.  The faculty is usually asked to make/donate cakes for the Cake Walk.  Some of the teachers, including me, like to get a little fancy.  I was trying to find something easy to do, and since Easter is on Sunday, I googled "Easter cake for kids."  I found a Kit Kat  Cake at Speckled Freckle.

I changed mine up a bit, using Strawberry Wafer cookies instead of Kit Kats, and used the pastel Peanut M&M's for the eggs on top.  I may decide to add a pipe cleaner handle to it, but I think it looks good even without it.  I hope the kids like it!

Update:  I added the pipe cleaner handle and a ribbon around the basket.  Parts of the wafer cookies kept coming off in transport, and the ribbon held it back together.

April Fools Cake

My school had a Fun Night on April 1st, which is April Fools day here in the US.  They have lots of different carnival type games, bounce houses, and a cake walk.  The teachers/staff at the school were asked to provide cakes for the cake walk.  I was inspired to make something funny, considering the day.  I found a cake online that looked like a dog food bowl, using cereal for the food, and decided to add a water bowl to go with it.  My friends loved it.

Did you do anything for April Fools day?
