SLUMBER PARTY CAKE

Steps:

• Cake:.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9" x 13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• *NOTE: Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions; I'm required to list the ingredients needed to prepare the mix (eggs water, and oil) but yours may be different.
• Place 1 cup of the cake batter in a small bowl and stir in 1/8 teaspoon green food color; mix well.
• Pour the remaining batter into the baking pan and drop the colored batter by spoonfuls into the batter in the baking pan and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
• Bake according to package directions; Cool completely then invert onto a serving platter.
• Frosting:.
• In a medium bowl, combine one container of frosting with the remaining 4 drops green food color; mix well.
• Lightly frost the entire cake with green frosting then heavily frost the top one-third of the cake lengthwise with the remaining green frosting.
• Assembly:.
• Cut the Twinkies in half lengthwise and place the top halves on the lightly frosted cake section, slightly overlapping the heavily frosted section.
• Frost the Twinkies and the bottom two-thirds and sides of the cake with the remaining container of cream cheese frosting to look like a blanket that covers the Twinkies (the "bodies").
• Place a flattened marshmallow to look like a pillow above each Twinkie on the green frosted part of the cake.
• Decorate the wafers with decorative icing to make hair, eyes, and mouths; Attach the decorated wafers to the marshmallow pillows with leftover frosting.
• Using the decorative icing, make a ruffle around the edges of the blanket; Sprinkle the blanket with decorative sprinkles; serve.
• (If making ahead of time, place toothpicks in the corners and lightly cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.).
• NOTE: Use more or fewer Twinkies on your cake, depending on how many "slumbering guests" will be attending your slumber party!
