Answer 1

for a cake I make Hamburger Cake
This is a wonderful cake that looks just like a giant hamburger.

INGREDIENTS
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
yellow paste food coloring
brown paste food coloring
3/4 cup prepared chocolate frosting

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven according to cake mix directions. Butter and flour one 8 inch round and one 9 inch round cake pan and one 2 quart ovenproof bowl 8 inches in diameter.
Prepare cake mixes. Pour 1 3/4 cups of the white mix into the 8 inch round cake pan, and the rest into the 2 quart bowl. Pour 1 3/4 cups of the chocolate mix into the 9 inch round pan.
Bake 8 inch cake for 25 minutes, 9 inch cake for 20 minutes and bowl cake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on racks.
In separate small bowls, tint small amounts of vanilla frosting red and yellow, to use as ketchup and mustard. Tint remaining vanilla frosting light brown, using brown and yellow food coloring.
For bun bottom, frost the 8 inch cake with light brown frosting.
For hamburger patty, spread top and sides of 9 inch chocolate cake with chocolate frosting Lightly press all around sides of cake with folded paper towel, pulling towel straight out to create rough edge of burger. center cake on top of bun bottom.
For cheese, arrange orange fruit chews in single layer on microwave-safe plate. Microwave on High 10-15 seconds or until slightly softened. With hands, press and flatten chews together to form 9 inch square. Place on top of hamburger patty. On work surface sprinkled with granulated sugar roll out 5 leaf-shaped gumdrops to 1/8 inch thickness to form 1 large lettuce leaf; repeat rolling with 6 more gumdrops to form another leaf. Arrange over cheese near edges of burger. For tomatoes, roll out red gumdrops individually to 1/8 inch thickness. Arrange over lettuce around burger edges. For onion rings, roll out white gumdrops to 1/8 inch thickness. With round cookie cutters or sharp knife cut out circles; cut 1/4 inch thick rings from circles with small cutters. Re-roll scraps to make additional rings; arrange rings over tomatoes. Arrange fruit-slice candies over onions for pickles. Pipe red and yellow icing around edges of burger for ketchup and mustard.
For bun top: If necessary, trim bowl cake so that it will be flat on the bottom when inverted. Invert firm paper plate onto work surface. Center bowl cake, trimmed side down, on top of plate. Starting from the top, spread remaining light brown frosting in lines down sides of cake, turning plate after each section. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Carefully place on top of the cake.

And for a meal I make Potato, Broccoli and Cheese Soup
A cheesy, potato broccoli soup that tastes great!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons margarine
2 1/2 pounds peeled and cubed potatoes
5 cups boiling water
4 cubes chicken bouillon
3 cups fresh broccoli, cooked and drained
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
In a large stock pot saute onion in butter. Add potatoes, water and bouillon cubes. Cover, bring to boil and then reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove tough outer skin of broccoli stems and cook broccoli. Once cooked add to soup.
In a blender or food processor puree half of the soup and return to stock pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cheese and heat soup through until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

The best thing you can do for a kids birthday party (if they're young kids) is to forget about baking a cake, and set up a make your own sundae table instead. The kids will adore it.

If the kids are older, make a cake that everyone will like (think marble cake...chocolate and vanilla).

Answer 3

My little sister and I always make this fun and yummy dougnut cake on her birthday! Its unique, easy, fun to make and SO GOOD!

ice cream cup-cakes in a cone!!!:) heres how:
first mix up some vanilla(or whatever flavor you like) cake mix(boxed kind is good) like the box says. get some ice cream cones and fill them each up about half way with the cake batter. put them on a baking sheet and bake them for however long the box of cake mix says(or until you think they are done) and let them cool. when they are cool, put a scoop of whatever flavor ice cream on top of the cake filled cones. you may add any decorations{icing, sprinkles, whip-cream, cherries are all good} or whatever the kids want to do.
i love these and they are so fun to make! i hope i helped

Answer 5

Most people tend to choose something sweet and (while of course your kid will want a cake) I find that savory foods usually go the quickest at parties. Try plates of crackers, cheese, and salami; black olives & pickles; mini cheeseburgers; veggies with dip; taquitos; chips & salsa; mini bagels; peanut butter on celery, etc. The kids will enjoy the food, but you won't have to deal with a house of sugar-crazy kids until cake time.

Answer 6

Usually sushi and cabbage soup. They don't each much. Helps keep them slim. Also not so many kids show up at the birthday parties anymore.

Answer 7

A peanutbutter icing cake. With Chocolate inside.

Answer 8

Mac&Cheese and a Bucket of Worms Cake

Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.
FROST borders of cake with whipped topping. Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.




KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS


Fun Idea
Insert bite-size fish-shaped and octopus-shaped chewy fruit snacks into gelatin "pool" before refrigerating for an added treat!

Shortcut
For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water; stir 8 min. or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression). Remove any unmelted ice. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake; continue as directed.
