Grass Cake with Worms
There are many variations to this recipe, you can also use the Dirt Cake Recipe and just add the green coconut, or you can use butterscotch or caramel instant pudding instead of the chocolate. You can layer the chocolate and one of the others pudding flavours. If you wish to make a cake for a children's birthday party you could design a landscape with the ingredients. For example use vanilla biscuits for sand on the beach and use blue coconut as the sea. You can decorate the beach sand with plastic toy people or animals if you can't find edible ones. There are super fish shaped sweets at Sweets from Heaven. Thanks to Hanna (one of our younger readers) who sent in the photos.
