Kitty Litter Cake

This is for Orion!  Hope he enjoys!

18.5 oz. pkg spice cake mix
18.5 oz. pkg white cake mix
2  4-serving pkgs instant vanilla pudding mix
1 12 oz. box vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
6 to 10 Tootsie Rolls (larger size, not minis)
Confectioner's sugar
1 NEW cat litter pan
1 NEW pooper scooper
Green food coloring
Plastic flies (optional)

Prepare the cakes and pudding according to the package directions.  Crumble the baked cake into the kitty litter pan, then add the pudding mix.  Add a few drops of green food coloring to 1 cup of the cookie crumbs and set aside; mix the rest of the cookie crumbs into the pan.  Soften the Tootsie Rolls by placing them in the microwave for 10 seconds on high and shape to resemble cat dropping.  Arrange the Tootsie Rolls on top of the cookie-pudding-cake mixture, sprinkle all with green cookie crumbs, then with a bit of confectioner's sugar.  Decorate with plastic flies, if desired, and serve with the pooper scooper.

Chocolate and white cake mixes work well, also.

Too fun.
