This Kitty Litter Cake Is the Best April Fool’s Dessert Prank

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at IU chapter.

Introducing the ultimate April Fool’s Day dessert: the kitty litter cake. Freak out your friends by offering them edible kitty turds and litter, the looks of shock and disgust never get old. The prank is only half the fun though, because this cake is indulgently sweet and totally worth eating. Make sure you buy a new scooper and litter box before serving. I cannot stress this enough.
