Chanukah

Dreidel Cake with Edible “Sand” Art

Esther Ottensoser November 30, 2020

Create this pretty rainbow dreidel cake using crushed fruit loops as “edible sand.” I love that making the sand is a fun and entertaining activity in itself.

Use your favorite cake recipe or you can even purchase ready-made sheet cake at your local bakery. You can cut one large cake or you can make a smaller one for each child.

You will need:

  • Fruit loops
  • Gallon-size freezer ziptop bags
  • Frosted cake, cut into a dreidel shape (a firm cake that is flat on top will work best)

Directions:

Sort the colors into separate bowls. (This is a great activity for the little ones.)

Place each color in a separate bag.

Release the air and crush until finely ground.  You can use a rolling pin to help crush them.

Use the colored “sand” to create a pretty pattern on your dreidel cake.

amazing activity! We did this at a chanukah party, I crushed the fruit loops in the food processor and we decorated chanukah shaped cookies. (we spread duncan hines frosting on them)
the kids and adults had so much fun! it really looked like sand art
