This Pizza Cake is the perfect April Fools' dessert — it looks just like a cheesy pan pizza, but it’s actually a fun, delicious treat!
Had scheduled this Pizza Cake for April Fool's day after seeing it on the Taste of Home website but never got around to it. Decided since today was the last day of April vacation, it would be a fun thing for Jake and I to do together.
Instead of round pans we baked it in a 13x9 according to the cake mix package directions. He spread the "sauce" out using an offset spatula.
Next came the white chocolate "cheese".
Then the fruit roll up "pepperoni" rounds.
Jake said it needed "herbs"
so we sprinkled the top with 2 kinds of green sprinkles at the end.
He was very pleased with how it came out and couldn't wait to fool Daddy with his creation!
