Subject: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:13 PM I mentioned in some other thread, eons ago, that I'd tasted this cake at an office party and found it quite tasty! I asked my co-worker for the recipe, but he changed jobs before getting it to me. Today he finally e-mailed it to me, so here it is (for the un-squeamish): KITTY LITTER CAKE Yield: 8 servings 1 pk Spice cake mix 1 pk White cake mix 1 pk White sandwich cookies 1 sm Package vanilla pudding mix 12 sm Tootsie Rolls Prepare cake mixes and bake according to their directions. Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender. They tend to stick, so scrape often. When cakes are cooled, crumble cakes into a large bowl. Toss with half the cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Gently combine. Pour into a new, unused kitty litter box (or an oblong cake pan). For "turds": Put unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave safe dish, two at a time, and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat until you have nine, and bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Heat three more Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Shape ends as described above, and place them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Serve with a new, unused litter-box scooper. (Just remember, if you intend to make this cake on a regular basis, to keep the cake litter box and the cake scoop with your kitchen stuff, safely separated from your cat's supplies!!!) Enjoy! Sharon |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: JenEllen Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:35 PM The gals in my tech class do this quite frequently for each other's birthdays and they 'theme' them to whatever I happen to be teaching at the time. Utterly hilarious the things that people can come up with. We had the kitty litter cake during lab practicals with humane society animals, as well as a big round cake frosted like a red blood cell during hematology, a rectangle frosted light blue like a microscope slide with various jelly bean eggs and gummi worms for parisitology, and one frosted black with a glow in the dark halloween skelton on it for radiology. I do not recommend eating anything with black icing on it if you plan on smiling for the next three days...*g* ~J |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:48 PM Ideally, the kitty litter cake should be accompanied by soda served in one of those water-dispensers for animals, where you invert the 2-liter bottle and the liquid empties into a bowl at the bottom (where it can be ladled into drinking cups)! Perhaps a cat-food bowl with Cheerios or another kibble-like cereal should be included, too. Then decorate the serving table with catnip mice and jingle-balls, and you're all set! |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: JenEllen Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:53 PM Hawaiian Punch, served slightly chilled, from an IV bag is also delightful....(and always LABEL the boxes of specimen cups so you know which ones are clean and which are 'previously used') |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Genie Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:10 PM I have an antique ceramic bedpan which I use on occasion for serving chips [corn or potato, that is, not cow] at parties. A plastic speculum can also be used as a salad server. Now I have a new item to add to my "grossology" repertoire for festive occasions. BTW, can you use Baby Ruth bars instead of Tootsie Rolls in the kitty litter cake, or do they melt too much? Genie §;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: JenEllen Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:14 PM Baby Ruth would work I guess, but I don't know too many cats who eat corn.... (gawd, grossing myself out here...) Sharon, LMAO, but what do you suggest for hairballs? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:20 PM "haystacks" could be used for hairballs |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:27 PM Hairballs could be a challenge, unless you can figure out a way to make brownish-gray cotton candy! |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:42 PM On the Wilton website (y'know; the "Wilton Method" for cake decorating), you can do a search on their discussion board for "hair" or "fur" to find techniques for reproducing the effect with icing. Start here: http://www.wilton.com/default.htm I'm not sure if anyone distributes coconut shavings in a fine enough texture to use as "fur" (for rolling icing-balls in the coconut shavings). |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Dave Swan Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:44 PM You may remember the Grape Nuts ad campaign from years ago when they fed the cereal to people on the street. Of course the folks they used were actors who'd auditioned for the job. A friend of mine got the call for the commercial and wasn't completely thrilled 'cause she HATES Grape Nuts. She figured she needed to be really hungry for the shoot, so she smoked a little dope on the way. Among her outtakes is "It's really crunchy, like eating kitty litter." All they used was a few seconds of her giggling hysterically while trying to keep from blowing milk out her nose. JenEllen, I've heard it said that if you're really careful, a urine specimen cup of apricot juice hidden among the real ones can have devastating effects on your co-wokers. Spy the cup, announce "This looks bad, we'd better send some to micro", then open, sniff and drink it. Or so I'm told. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:50 PM Apple juice works better. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 03:59 PM I agree that apple juice is less opaque than apricot juice, but isn't apple juice too dark to pass (so to speak) for urine? What about white grape juice? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Amergin Date: 04 Apr 02 - 04:01 PM So, JE...I take it you are doing the catering at the next gathering? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Dave Swan Date: 04 Apr 02 - 04:03 PM The reason to use apricot juice is that it looks so cloudy and unhealthy. Part of the set up depends on taking an interest in the odd looking specimen. Anybody can throw back a plain ol' glass of pee, it takes true strangeness to drink soemthing bound for the micro lab. Timed correctly, this one can actually induce bystanders to re-visit their lunches. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: JenEllen Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:01 PM Yup, Amergin. Truth be told, I have more spare surgical tools laying around the new house than I do silverware....so the gathering will be catered in a sort of 'eat if you dare' theme...*g*
Dave, you are my kinda guy. ~Jen |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Wincing Devil Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:08 PM Here's a recipe for "Cat Poop Cookies". Rolled in Grape nuts, served in a tray of grape nuts. Haven't got the nerve to try it yet... WD |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Amergin Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:25 PM sounds wonderful! I can't wait....and if mousethief has any problems...we got a vet on hand! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:34 PM Wincing Devil: The problem with Grape-Nuts is that they're so rock-hard as to be unpleasant to eat unless you soak them for 45 minutes in milk first. Also, the cookie recipe states that the cookies are dense and not very sweet. While Tootsie Rolls are chewy, they're definitely sweet! The plastic flies and the coconut tapeworms are nice touches, though.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Amergin Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:49 PM i like grape nuts... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:55 PM Amergin: More Grape-Nuts for you, then – you can have my portion! (Actually, I love the taste, but my teeth can't withstand the texture!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: Genie Date: 04 Apr 02 - 10:37 PM If any of you folks have kids--especially boys between about 8 and 12 years old--, I'll bet these various treats would go over great at one of their birthday parties! I know my nephews a couple of years ago would've gone ape-shit over them!

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: alison Date: 05 Apr 02 - 12:48 AM OK... need more info... what are tootsie rolls?? (apart from something chocolatey you can make look like turds) slainte alison |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 05 Apr 02 - 11:02 AM *gasp* Omigod, there are people in the world who've never tasted a Tootsie Roll! You poor dears!!! Well, reading about the product is a very poor substitute for chewing the real thing, but here's the Tootsie Roll website: http://www.tootsie-roll.com/ There you can see an animated portrayal of a piece of the penny-candy being unwrapped. Basically it's a cylindrical piece of chocolate, low in fat and just moist enough to be chewy. It's simple, it's delicious, and it's the color and texture of a slightly constipated turd! Tootsie Roll Industries also makes lollipops ("Tootsie Pops") with the Tootsie Roll candy in the center of a sphere-shaped pop. Here's a link to an experiment someone actually conducted to answer the question posed in an advertisement for the product: "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop??" http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/9528/ ,br> |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 08 Apr 02 - 10:35 AM GUEST is right about that recipes from cake.allrecipes.com – in fact, since it is so detailed, and since it uses German chocolate cake instead of spiced cake, I'll reprint it here: 1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix 1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies 3 drops green food coloring 1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls Directions: 1. Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan). 2. Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble. 3. Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix. 4. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy. 5. Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put cake mixture into box. 6. Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until softened. Shape the ends so that they are no longer blunt, and curve the tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of the green colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top. 7. Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle lightly with some of the green cookie crumbs. Heat the remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before. Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture. Sprinkle with any remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining tootsie roll over side of litter box and sprinkle with a few green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper for a gross Halloween dessert. (I especially like that "green food coloring" idea! Be careful about those litter-box liners, though; some have fragrance on them, which could affect the cake's taste.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Apr 02 - 11:11 AM Didja' know that malted milk balls resemble gall stones? Karen is a lab tech and 20 years back when she was in school, one of the instructors passed around a specimen jar with several of them in it and then proceeded to eat them.......got their attention anyway. I think my fear with this cake would be having it sitting on the counter and one of my cats using it while I wasn't looking. Kinda' like the time that we sailed into a nice restaurant with outdoor tables and all for lunch up on Lake Erie. I ordered a monster sald with bleu cheese dressing and had no more than gotten the dressing stirred in when a gull passed by and nailed the center of the table......I looked at the gull shit, looked at my salad.....and ordered a burger and fries. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 10:54 AM Lessee now, we've got the cat-poop cake and the gull-poop salad... All we need is a poop entree and maybe a poop soup to make a really crappy meal! |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:23 AM Hee hee hee! Should that be served with "chips"? *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:30 AM with "potato logs" of course! or else those *shudder* little poop looking things made out of rehydrated potato - y'know the "potato puff" things. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:34 AM Yup, "Tater Tots", which should more rightfully be called "Tater Turds". Okay, now, what about soup? Can food coloring be added to green pea soup or yellow squash soup to achieve that nice "baby-shit brown"? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:39 AM oxtail soup with some sour cream stirred in. (believe me - though the taste is divene this is not something you want to look at while you eat.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:47 AM Okay, I'll bite (or slurp): how do you make oxtail soup? For that matter, where do you get ox tails? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 09 Apr 02 - 11:58 AM from oxen! (well - pretty much from steers, these days) Oxtail soup is one of the foods of the gods - it is basically a beef soup/stew - but the oxtails have both an incredible rich beefy flavour and (because of the amount of cartilage and other connective tissue) a texture different from most meats - also the broth has a much heartier "mouth feel" again - due to the cartilage etc. But because of that connective tissue oxtail soup requires a long, long, slow cooking - which usually results in a deep rich brown colouration. Oxtail aren't easy to find - they disappear pretty fast. This is a case where having a "mom 'n pop" type butcher could stand to your advantage - because they might be able to get them for you - whereas I doubt a chain store butcher would bother. I do see them occasionally in the chain stores - but as I said - not for long.

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: John Gray Date: 09 Apr 02 - 02:23 PM Alison, I want to have a go at this cake as well. Have you been able to come up with a local equivalent to Tootsie Rolls? JG/FME |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 02:37 PM SA: "Where do you get ox tails?" MM: "From oxen!" Awright, MMario, this is long overdue... *THWAP* back atcha!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 09 Apr 02 - 03:03 PM Well - you don't get square roots from squares, and you don't get chicken pox from chickens - so wanted to make things clear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 03:36 PM I dunno, MMario; I remember a couple of math teachers who were real squares, and I got some square roots from them (in my lessons)! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Apr 02 - 03:42 PM Seems like it'd be kinda' hard, so to speak, putting a square root in a round hole.......... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: MMario Date: 09 Apr 02 - 03:43 PM *so* glad you added that parenthetical phrase! I don't know if I could have resisted making a comment about the previous one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Recipe for KITTY LITTER CAKE (yummy!) From: SharonA Date: 09 Apr 02 - 03:56 PM Okay, this conversation is getting WAY too disgusting, in a way that has NOTHING to do with edible simulated-poop! Ew!!! |
