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…)”

Rice krispy cake

Three of you guessed correctly.

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!

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!

Share with your friends!

  1. 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!

  2. 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 🙂
