Garden Cup Saucer
A garden/ tea party help with a dirt cake....?
I have a two part question. I'm throwing a tea/ garden birthday party for a 7 year old (a cookout). I wanted to do a dirt cake and I found recipe but the recipe calls for unglazed terra cotta pots because I will baking the cake inside the pot. Well, when I was in Michael's I saw these super cute small tea cups with the saucer attached to them. I think they are glazed because they are shiney. So, my question is... is it absolutely necessary that I use unglazed terra cotta pots? or Does anyone know of a recipe that will allow me to use the shiney tea cups? and just in general, would anyone know a good recipe for dirt cake that they've used. I'm cool with using a recipe that I've found, but I'll have to test it first and I really don't have time for that as the planning of this party fell into my lap 3 days ago and it's in 2 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated....
My recipe for dirt cake doesn't require baking
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
Chop cookies very fine in food processor. The white cream will disappear.
Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in bowl.
In a large bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together.
Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together.
Layer in flower pot, starting with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers.
Chill until ready to serve.
Add artificial flower and trowel. Enjoy!
You could do this in the little teacups. Personally, I would never use an unglazed terra cotta pot. You have no way of knowing what the pot is made of and there is too great a chance of it leaching into your cake.
Have a great party!
