Delicious Lime Cake

This Delicious Lime Cake is so good with cream cheese frosting and worth all the calories.

I love that Grey loves the citrus flavors these days! They are the absolute best! Lime is my favorite flavor for slushies, but I had never done a lime cake before. This turned out perfect with the basic cream cheese frosting. I didn’t do this cake in the typical shape I would normally do.

We had a six year old who needs a Yoshi cake and this was the easiest idea for Yoshi that I could come up with. A Yoshi egg that looks cool but is fairly simple to execute. The bottom I made cake Rice Krispies so that I could have it maintain it’s shape and I pressed them into a greased bowl.

Then I popped them out so that they could dry and harden in the base of the egg shape. We created a stand for the cake to make sure that it wouldn’t roll over night. Then we stacked the cake on top and gave it a little extra structure using straws and cardboard cake circles.
