Dirt Cake with Gummy Worms

This dirt cake with gummy worms is a fun way to celebrate spring or summer. How about serving it at a garden party or a kids birthday party. A fun way to serve this is in a new clean flower pot or sand bucket that is lined with plastic wrap. Or how about a new large dump truck with cake in the birthday cake in the back. This idea works great for a truck or construction theme party.

How to Make a Dirt Cake with Gummy Worms

It is simple to put this cake together and it doesn't have to look perfectly frosted either. Your kids will even love to help put this together and you don't have to worry that it has to be just right!

1. Make a two layer round cake or 13x9 cake.
   
   
2. If you are serving your cake in a pot, bucket or dump truck, cut pieces of cake and place in your serving "dish".
   
   If you'd rather have a two layer cake, fill your cake layer with chocolate frosting and add the top layer. For more fun, add some of your cookie crumbs from step 4 on top of your chocolate frosting before you add the top layer. 
   
   if using a 13x 9 cake, place cake on a serving platter.



3. Frost your cake with chocolate frosting, again it doesn't have to look great because we will cover it up with "dirt". If you are using cake pieces in a pot or bucket, once you frost your pieces it will make crumbs but it is perfectly alright as it will add to the effect.



4. Crush your chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs, you can leave a few bigger pieces to resemble rocks or chunks of dirt. A great way to do this is to place your cookies in a ziploc bag, seal and crush with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin.
   



5. Sprinkle cookie crumbs all over chocolate frosting. 



6. Press gummy worms in your cookie crumbs.

To make dirt cups to go with it, make pudding and pour into small cups. Top each with crushed cookies and add a gummy worm or two.

• We have a worm cake decorating pattern that you can use to design a dirt cake with a worm cake image. You could prepare a 13x9 cake or 2 layer round cake. Frost with chocolate frosting. Create a worm cake image in the middle. Then add your "dirt" around your worm after you've finished it.
