A very happy unbirthday!

It happens almost every time I make a birthday cake, something for a party, school function or holiday. Through the whole process from mixing to decorating the kids want to help out. Bless their heart for wanting to help but I am a picky pants when it comes to presentation. Plus its my favorite part. I feel horrible telling them "next time you get to decorate" every time. I decided we need to make a cake, an unbirthday cake, that the kids can make what ever way they want and put what ever they want on it. It was a blast for them! they loved it all, from mixing to piling on obsene amounts of sprinkles.

I didn't have a box cake on hand and was feeling kinda lazy to whip up one from scratch so we got creative. We used a box of jiffy cornbread mix, 1/2c milk 1 egg and a box of lemon pudding. Bakes at 400 for 20 minutes. For the frosting, a pack of cream cheese, about 2 cups powdered sugar and then wanted green frosting to some food coloring and a splash of vanilla.




















 I got out every kind of cake or cookie decorating supplies and they went to town on that cake. As far as the taste goes, I cannot tell you, there is dairy in the cake so I had to sit out on this one, but the reviews from the kids " this is the best cake ever!" It was a very happy unbirthday.
