I recently posed a question on facebook.
“I just made a really fun cake!! One of the main ingredients is marshmallow… any guesses on what it is??? (There may be a prize involved…)”
Three of you guessed correctly.
Carla Smith
Marcella Simon Vander Eems
Lenita Wall
And one of you will win a copy of Sweet Confections!
What did they guess?? What kind of cake did I make that has marshmallow as a main ingredient?
A Rice Crispy Cake!
With a surprise inside of course!
A pumpkin inside rice crispy cake with chocolate buttercream frosting!
So easy.
So fun.
And everyone’s face lit up with delight when they saw it.
Such a great way to make your loved ones smile!
Oh… and the winner of the book is Carla Smith! Shoot me an email Carla and we’ll get that fabulous book in the mail to you. (Let me know if you try the pumpkin caramels!)
Thanks for playing everyone!
So fun! You must have the happiest kids in town with creations like that.
Have you by any chance tried making this with the Kraft Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows? I haven’t made this cake,yet,but did make rice crispy bars with them, plus I added 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice to the melted butter. Just makes an added “yum” to the flavor.
SO funny you mention that! I actually bought them with that exact purpose in mind, but ended up not using them. Maybe for the next cake!
Very cute
Best rice crispy cake I’ve seen so far! I love your surprises inside but would have never guessed this surprise even with you calling it pumpkin. I was thinking you somehow flavored the marshmallow part with pumpkin! Maybe I’ll have to try that…
Such a fun cake! This should be on the front of the box of Rice Krispies right beside Snap, Crackle & Pop and the recipe on the back. I’ll bet sales of the cereal go through the roof.
This is about the only kind of cake I CAN make!!!! RIght up my alley, LOL!
That is so cute! I love how you have surprises inside your cakes, I need to try doing that sometime!

That is one great PUMPKIN!!! Love how creative you are, always inspiring
How cute, I bet your kids loved it.
Well those ladies are much smarter than I am, I would have never guessed a rice crispy cake. And of course you always have the best surprises inside.

Well, that is SO smart!!! And, of course, the surprise inside is adorable!
what a fun cake. Could never have guessed that
Oh, I think I would have cried if someone brought me that beautiful cake and I cut into marshmallow treats. No offense, and it is very cute, but cake should be cake. It’s a sacred thing for me.
happy hallow’s eve.
you never cease to amaze me girl!! Love it!
Cheryl took the words right out of my mouth. Stunning and amazing!

WOW! Never would have thought of making a Rice Krispie Cake! I always have a hard time cutting the bars, how did you cut the cake? Looks beautiful and I bet it would surprise EVERYONE!

HAHAH! amazing. I have never seen anything like that!!
Ahhh, another surprise element! As if the pumpkin wasn’t surprise enough! You’re amazing, Amanda!
So stinkin’ cute!
Very adorable!! I love the “surprise” image in the middle of the cake, that’s like your signature touch! I can imagine this cake being an extra special treat for kids gathering at a friend’s house to trick-or-treat together. I’d say it’d be way better than a pillowcase full of candy
Seriously the cutest thing I have seen!!
That’s such a cool looking cake!!
I cant find the directions are they listed somewhere else?
wow I never thought of seing this wonderful krispycake…looks so prett…very creative. I like it.
I’ve been making my son (27!) rice crispy cakes, usually with a Star Trek theme, for years but never with the surprise center! That’s really thinking outside the box. Or do I mean inside the cake?
Wow Manda!! This is such a cool idea!! Leave it to you to come up with such a brilliant use for rice krispies!!
