SLUMBER PARTY CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch cake pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Frost top one-third of cake with yellow cupcake icing to make bedding sheet. Place flattened marshmallows on sheet for pillows; place cookies on top of pillows for heads.

• Outline blanket with frosting, using star tip; sprinkle with stars. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

PERFECT PARTY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For layer 1: In a large frying pan, pan-fry the red onions in the olive oil for about 2 minutes to soften. Stir in the lentils, tamari (or soy sauce), balsamic vinegar and paprika. Cook for a couple more minutes to infuse flavors. Tip onto a plate and set aside.
• For layer 3: Using the same pan, add the olive oil with the spinach and garlic, cook for about 1 minute, season with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• For assembly: Unroll 1 sheet of the pie dough onto a baking sheet, leaving the dough's parchment paper underneath. Cut away a 1-inch strip from the short side of the pastry sheet to use to make decoration for the top. Do the same with the second sheet of pastry and set the strips to one side.
• Spoon the lentil mixture onto the first pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch gap around the edge (for sealing later).
• Now drain the jarred red peppers and lay them across to form the second layer.
• Spoon the spinach layer on top of the roasted red peppers, and spread it out evenly.
• Lay the second pie dough sheet over the top.
• Crimp in the edges together all the way around to seal.
• Cut leaf shapes from the strips of pastry with a knife.
• Cut a 1-inch slit in the middle of the pie and arrange the pastry leaves around it.
• Brush with the plant-based milk.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the dough is crisp and golden brown.
• Serve hot from the oven or at room temperature.

• Place 1 cup of the cake batter in a small bowl and stir in 1/8 teaspoon green food color; mix well.
• Pour the remaining batter into the baking pan and drop the colored batter by spoonfuls into the batter in the baking pan and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
• Bake according to package directions; Cool completely then invert onto a serving platter.
• Frosting:.
• In a medium bowl, combine one container of frosting with the remaining 4 drops green food color; mix well.
• Lightly frost the entire cake with green frosting then heavily frost the top one-third of the cake lengthwise with the remaining green frosting.
• Assembly:.
• Cut the Twinkies in half lengthwise and place the top halves on the lightly frosted cake section, slightly overlapping the heavily frosted section.
• Frost the Twinkies and the bottom two-thirds and sides of the cake with the remaining container of cream cheese frosting to look like a blanket that covers the Twinkies (the "bodies").
• Place a flattened marshmallow to look like a pillow above each Twinkie on the green frosted part of the cake.
• Decorate the wafers with decorative icing to make hair, eyes, and mouths; Attach the decorated wafers to the marshmallow pillows with leftover frosting.
• Using the decorative icing, make a ruffle around the edges of the blanket; Sprinkle the blanket with decorative sprinkles; serve.
• (If making ahead of time, place toothpicks in the corners and lightly cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.).
• NOTE: Use more or fewer Twinkies on your cake, depending on how many "slumbering guests" will be attending your slumber party!
