I love these gross cake/dessert recipe books! I've made Kitty Litter Casserole and Kitty Litter Cake before. Tootsie rolls are excellent for the cake doo-doo, and it was fun to make doo-doo out of ground round for the casserole. Can't wait to try Blood Clot Cake or Putrid Pus Pockets. Just waiting for the right victim...

Hahaha!!! Just the names alone of these REAL cake recipes beg to be made! Haven't tried to cook any but what a great way to introduce a booktalk. "Doggie Doo Doo Drops," anyone? How about "Boogery Bundt" or "Earwax Swabs"? All recipes rendered in full-on color photographs, yeah!
