Kitty Litter Cake


This Kitty Litter Cake is the ultimate Halloween gross out dessert. It tastes fabulous, but is surely to frighten everyone who sees it. Don’t have your party without it.

If you thought for a minute I would not be making this cake for Halloween, you thought wrong. I wouldn’t have it any other way. It is the ultimate gross out.

It’s authenticity always amazes me as it looks just like the cat box. Hopefully, you all keep your cat boxes cleaner than this one.

What’s funny about this cake is it TASTES REALLY GOOD. Between the box caked mixes, pudding and crushed vanilla cremes you can’t really screw it up. 

Kids absolutely love to make all kinds of gross faces and sounds when they are being served this cake with the pooper scooper, but they always lick their plate clean.

So don’t disappoint your family or friends this Halloween. Make them a Kitty Litter Cake, you’ll be the cat’s meow at the Halloween Ball!

Let’s put this poop cake together…


Here is what you will need:  German chocolate cake mix, white cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, vanilla sandwich cookies, tootsie rolls, a BRAND NEW kitty litter box and a BRAND NEW kitty litter scooper. Ingredients not shown:  Green food coloring.


Make your white and German chocolate cake and instant vanilla pudding according to package directions. For the cakes, it doesn’t matter what size pan they are made in or what they look like because you will be crumbling them together.


Crumble 12 ounces of vanilla sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor. 


To 1/4 cup of the crumbs add 5 drops of green food coloring and mix together with your hand, creating flecks of color in the crumbs; set aside.


When cakes are cooled to room temperature crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding, making the cake moist.


Put the cake mixture into the kitty litter box. Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat for about 12 seconds or until soft.


Shape the ends so they are no longer blunt and curve the tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle the cake with the other half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle the green flecked cookie crumbs over the top. 


Heat the remaining tootsie rolls in the microwave and strategically place them over the top of the cake mixture  Don’t forget to hang a few over the side to get the full, disgusting effect.


Serve each guest personally with a pooper scooper for a gross Halloween dessert.


Maybe each guest should have to use a pooper scooper to eat it? Ewwww.


The kids will love it.


But the cat might freak out a little.

  2. Why do I need a NEW pooper scooper ? I have a few old ones I could use….coming from someone who tries to faithfully keep her kitty litter boxes clean, the pictures really gag me ! But knowing too how little ones LOVE this kind of gross stuff, I will probably make it ! Thanks a lot Noble Pig…now I need to go gag in private.

  3. “Let’s put this poop cake together…” One of the many reasons I continue to read you.
    Love all the Halloween creatures behind the cake.
    What do I do at 2am when I can’t sleep? You’re looking at it. Looking at your post time, I don’t know how you keep up, what with mommying, blogging, repairing a/c’s, clearing land, priming pumps, and finding places for what has to be the country’s finest Halloween collection. Impressive.
    The microwaved tootsie rolls are spookier than your decorations. Ewww!

  9. This is the most gross cake I have ever seen or imagined. Now that is a great compliment because that was your aim, to make it look as gross as possible, and that you certainly did. I can just see the kids faces when you serve it up!

  12. Cathy, this is your best yet! How I wish my kids were still living at home. Anything to do with “doo-doo” is a hit with my kids. And this one would fit the bill.

    Thanks!

  13. I always get a little too grossed out by kitty litter cake, although yours is fantastically done.

    (FYI: Along these lines, I make a dirt cake in a clean flower pot at Christmas time, stick a silk poinsettia in it, and give it to the hostess as our gift when we attend a gathering. The hostesses who’ve never seen it before always mumble a thank you and set it far to the side. LOL Then they have their mouths open when I quietly retrieve it, stick a serving spoon it it, put some on my plate, and start eating. Always a great laugh! With your repertoire, you are probably already familiar with it.)

  14. You bring me back to my inner child. And, while location, location, location is the real estate mantra … presentation, presentation, presentation makes this dish a delightful party pooper delight!

  18. Man that is so gross! I am not sure I could even enjoy it, although I am sure the kids would have no trouble. I get freaked out by the dirt and worms desserts, so I’m a light weight.

  24. OH NO YOU DIDN’T! I am laughing so hard… Seriously had to call my whole family in to see this! I can’t stop laughing… I may have to come back to comment later…

  25. we didn’t have any tootsie rolls so I used those Resin Chocolate candies They worked well. They melt a little grosser
    . Also you can put a few grains of rice on it and it looks like tape worm segments…..

  33. Oh Cathy! I love the poop hanging over the side…classic!!
    Hey, do you think Tastespotting will accept these photos?
    I made this 3 years ago and all the people’s reactions were friggin’ priceless!

  47. Too funny. I received a photo of this same cake from my son. A friend of his made a going away cake for another friend. Yep it was this same cake. My husband’s birthday is Halloween….perhaps this should be his birthday cake. A good way to gross out my in-laws.

  54. Wow. I’m not sure whether to be completely disgusted by this, or stand up and applaud! 🙂

    Either way…this gets filed under the most ‘unique’ Halloween ‘dish’ I’ve seen in a long time. Kudos!

  58. I love watching your dreams come true with your vinyards. Have you watched HGTV’s Dream House covering the story of the Shannon and Stephen over at Notaviva? They are my brother’s friends who are living their dream of doing some VA wines!

  69. That cake might very well be the most, well, I can’t think of any adequate descriptors right now!!! It’s just the thing I need to gross out a group of preteens! Hope all works out well with your neighbor … hey, maybe you could stop by and bring him a cake … hehehe!

  74. OMG, my daughter brought a book home with this cake. I’ve been waiting to make it. Honey, the only thing I can say is you turds look like slugs but I am sure they taste oh, so much better! Thanks for sharing.

  77. I love this recipe! I’m going to make this for a party we’re going to, lol. They will all get a HUGE kick out of this and I’m sure I’ll be the hit of the party, lol. Of course, I’m going dressed as *Mommie Dearest*, with hanger in hand.

  79. I made this for my neighbors 14 birthday at first she said is this a joke not believing it was a real cake. I didn’t use the tootsie rolls instead I took milky way minis and mashed and then rolled them into little logs and they looked more like poop than tootsie roll do. her mom was laughing and gagging at the same time. but wanted the recipe.

  80. Brava on the Kitty Litter Cake! Have you seen the recipe that usually appears under the name of “Little Gator’s Deep Sh*t Cookies”? Your recipe is a big improvement: the entire thing is edible, whereas Little Gator’s Cookies are served on a bed of Grape Nuts—highly realistic, but not anything people want to eat with cookies. However, if you don’t mind a little extra work, I recommend substituting the cookie part of Little Gator’s (basically chocolate/gingerbread cookie mix rolled up to look like cat turds) for the Tootsie Rolls in your recipe. The combination would be unbeatable.

  81. I can’t wait to take this to our Thanksgiving pot luck dinner at work. I want to take it anonymous, at first, just to see who will actually eat it 🙂 Ha! Ha!

  84. I made this cake and took it to my employee Christmas party. It was so much fun! I loved the facial expressions and other reactions when everyone saw the cake. I just wish i would have taken a camera and got it all on film =)

  86. Hi There. Love the cake idea. My husband will love love love it. Sadly though we are unable to eat gluten or sugar so do you have an alternative way of making it that fits with our eating requirements? Thanks

    Reply

  88. I have SO got to pitch this to Con-com. It’s a well-known fact that many a sci-fi fan is owned by a cat, and it takes a certain sense of (black, twisted) humor to actually sign up to run a convention. This’ll go over great!

  91. I don’t know why a few people say they refuse to eat this—it’s just cake with tootsie rolls on top, just presented VERY differently! Hahaha C’mon people! Break out of normality!

    I think this is a genius way to make this dessert–much more creative than the typical dirt worm cupcake =)

  95. I’ve had cats all of my life, so I don’t think I could bring myself to eat this. *shudders* Nope. I’m too well acquainted… I love your site though! You’ve got some great stuff here! ;]

  97. I make this twice a year for my two cat’s birthdays. I make them with squished brownies instead of tootsie rolls and serve with whipped cream if desired. The best cake ever! Everyone is excited about it all year and ask when the cats birthdays are so they can have some!

  105. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for years. I found the perfect opportunity: my husband’s birthday, since he always takes care of the litterbox. I’ve seen this same recipe around but I really appreciated your helpful photos. It’s so easy because nothing has to look just right, and it’s fun to crumble up cakes and sculpt kitty turds out of warm Tootsie Rolls. I love how it cane out! Hope my husband likes it as much as I do… 😉

  106. I can’t thank you enough for this recipe! I first made it 3 years ago & it has now become a must-have at our neighborhood pumpkin carving parties! My 10 year old is going to a Halloween party tonight & she has insisted on bringing this so the cakes are baking as I type this. I have enjoyed all of your recipes that we have tried but, this is our favorite….followed closely by the Hawaiian pork with rice! 🙂

  110. My twin nieces were spending the night, so we planned a party for my 2 dogs who had birthdays in October. We were going to make paw prints cupcakes, but dogs LOVE eating kitty litter, so this is their birthday cake!! Made a small bowl with no chocolate or Tootsie Roll poops to serve to the birthday boys. Thanks for sharing this! They loved it.

    Hi, I’ve used this recipe a couple of times. The most recent was to pay back our favorite Animal Control Officer. (She’s s hoot!) We put the full litterbox on her desk at the animal shelter. Once everyone got over the shock, the cake was consumed. This is truly a great prank cake.
