Rice Krispies cake

[sumbirdy]

My mothers birthday is Tuesday. Friday I went to buy her a cake. She doesn't care if it's chocolate or white, so I just grabbed one that had purple flowers, since that is her favorite color. When I got it home I got curious to what flavor I had gotten. Turned out to be Rice Krispies. Mom was curious so we got a piece early. And it was just rice krispies with icing on it. Not a cake. We were all kind of dissappointed. Has anyone ever heard of this? Did you enjoy it? I had never seen one before, and we won't be getting one again.

Im not big on cakes or most sugary things but a rice crispey cake sounds A OK to me.

It would be okay, and I love rice krispies, but the combination of rice krispies and icing made it WAY too sweet.

If you ever watch the show Ace of Cakes on Food Network, you'll see that they use it a lot to make certain shapes, but I don't think it's supposed to be the main part of the cake (they used it for a dog's leg, or for tall cylindrical pieces). Not sure I'd want a rice krispie cake, but I do like rice krispy treats (I hate frosting, at least the traditional frosting).

How odd! I'm surprised a store even sold something like that

I agree with this. This whole thing intrigues me. Can you go to the store and ask them why it was rice krispies? I hate to say it but it sounds like somebody was trying to be funny at the bakery. Or.....maybe it's a new type of cake??

I don't know. Maybe Wal-Mart was just trying something knew to see if anyone would buy it.

It's funny - maybe someone at that bakery is a Food Network Challenge fan, and said "Hey, I could make a cake from Rice Krispies!"
