I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two more fun April Fool’s Day fun food ideas before the big day. I saw this delicious Grilled Cheese Sandwich over on this blog and had to make it. I just LOVE pound cake so how could it not be bad with frosting on it?! It was that simple. Slice up 2 pieces of pound cake. (I have the best recipe EVER that I will post soon). Tint vanilla frosting orange for the cheese and there you have it. I think I was supposed to actually grill (or toast) the slices of pound cake but I didn’t want to mess with perfection. =o) 
This second idea was from this site. Hamburger Cookies. How could we not make these, right? We made Hot Dog Cookies earlier and we didn’t want to leave out the hamburger. That would be wrong. Their hamburgers had sesame seeds on the “buns” but we chose not to put those on. We are not big sesame people and even though I tried to convince my kids that it would make them look more real, they said no way. Actually they said “hamburgers don’t have seeds on them Mom. That’s just ridiculous.” (My daughter’s new favorite word.) Ingredients: Nilla Wafers Peppermint Patties frosting (tinted yellow and red) 
You can put “lettuce” on them as well by tinting coconut with green food coloring. But again the response was “that’s just ridiculous, Mom.” Cute, right?

Thanks so much for linking to me!! Yeah, I feel famous!
Oh love those ideas!
These are so cute!
too perfect going to have to get to the grocery tomorrow:)
Awesome idea. The grilled cheese is my favorite.
I liked the cheese sammies…so cute! I’ve made the hamburgers before, but your process looks so much easier. We made yellow cake for the buns and brownies for the meat. Boy were they tasty!!!
I have that same cookbook! I love all the ideas from it. I just made the spicy chicken stromboli tonight. Yum!
These are so fun!! 🙂
I would so love to eat at your house. One year I made “cupcakes” for dinner. It was fun. Thanks for some great ideas for this year.
SUCH cute ideas…can’t wait to try these with my grandgirls!
These are adorable!! I’m going to the store today to buy the ingredients to make these. Thanks for linking up at DIY Thrifty Thursday!

Erin, these are so clever. You little sou chef looks like she’s having the time of her life. Such concentration. I’m fairly new to your blog and don’t often comment, but I did want you to know how much I like the food and recipes you feature here. I always enjoy my visits. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Too cute! I love these! I have a similar recipe for the hamburgers using Keebler Grasshopper Cookies; I like the idea of the Peppermint Patties since those are one of my favorite candies:)
Love, love, love those fun fake-out foods! Happy April Fools!
If I had kids, I think this would be my favorite holiday. ;o)
Loving all your post!
P.s. My halfway to Twilight will post tomorrow night….I’m glad there will be one person that doesn’t unfriend by the time you see the craziness….because….uh…the movie is only like nine months away from it’s release date!
love the hamburgers!!!! They sound really rich but I’m sure I’d eat more than one, lol.
