April Fool the kids and have a good laugh yourself!!!

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 slices poundcake (store bought is great)
  • 1 cup white frosting (canned is fine)
  • yellow food coloring
  • red food coloring

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the pound cake into bread-like slices.
  2. 2
    Toast them in a toaster oven or carefully in the toaster,just until they turn golden brown.
  3. 3
    Cool for a few minutes.
  4. 4
    Stack two slices for each sandwich and cut the stack in half diagonally (slicing the sandwich before you fill it makes for fewer crumbs).
  5. 5
    Tint the frosting by stirring in a few drops of yellow and red food coloring (more yellow than red) to get a shade of orange that resembles American cheese.
  6. 6
    Carefully spread frosting between the slices of each half sandwich.
  7. 7
    If you mound the frosting on one slice, then top it with the other and gently press down, the frosting will ooze out a bit and look all the more like melted cheese.

My kids loved this 2 years ago and have asked for it for the last 2 years so I guess we have ourselves an April Fools Day Tradition started.... Thanks for a fun recipe!

    WOW! This is incredible, I fooled everyone. I made cream cheese frosting, and used the already made French toast from the freezer section; look much better than the pond cake, I think. Thank you for the great addition to our April fools Day Dinner.

    This was good and it was cute...but it was sooo rich! I know that's to be expected when you pile icing between two slices of pound cake, but it was almost too much! I used a homemade pound cake and, because it wasn't as tall as a store-bought might be, I couldn't really cute it like a sandwich. It got the point across though, and was a nice April Fools Day treat!
