" Grilled Cheese"

LAURIE's Note:

April Fool the kids and have a good laugh yourself!!!

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 2 slices poundcake (store bought is great)
• 1 cup white frosting (canned is fine)
• yellow food coloring
• red food coloring

Directions:

1. Cut the pound cake into bread-like slices.
2. Toast them in a toaster oven or carefully in the toaster,just until they turn golden brown.
3. Cool for a few minutes.
4. Stack two slices for each sandwich and cut the stack in half diagonally (slicing the sandwich before you fill it makes for fewer crumbs).
5. Tint the frosting by stirring in a few drops of yellow and red food coloring (more yellow than red) to get a shade of orange that resembles American cheese.
6. Carefully spread frosting between the slices of each half sandwich.
7. If you mound the frosting on one slice, then top it with the other and gently press down, the frosting will ooze out a bit and look all the more like melted cheese.

WOW! This is incredible, I fooled everyone. I made cream cheese frosting, and used the already made French toast from the freezer section; look much better than the pond cake, I think. Thank you for the great addition to our April fools Day Dinner.

My kids loved this 2 years ago and have asked for it for the last 2 years so I guess we have ourselves an April Fools Day Tradition started.... Thanks for a fun recipe!

This was good and it was cute...but it was sooo rich! I know that's to be expected when you pile icing between two slices of pound cake, but it was almost too much! I used a homemade pound cake and, because it wasn't as tall as a store-bought might be, I couldn't really cute it like a sandwich. It got the point across though, and was a nice April Fools Day treat!
