Instructions: Let them eat cake for dinner! (Its really a sandwich in disguise.) Youll need an 8 1/2" or 9" spring form pan and a star-shaped pastry tip to make
the cake look realistic.

Prep time: 30 minutes

Yield: 16 servings

2 loaves (1 lb. each) dense White Bread, crusts cut off 11 Tbs bottled Italian Dressing
1/2 lb. sliced Bologna
3/4 lb. American Cheese slices
2 containers (8 oz. each) Whipped Cream Cheese Ketchup

1. Layer 1/3 Bread slices in a double layer on bottom of 8 1/2" spring form
pan. Cut up some of the slices to fill in spaces. Sprinkle 3 Tbs of the Dressing over Bread.

2. Arrange Bologna over Bread. Layer half of the remaining Bread in double layer over Bologna; sprinkle with 3 Tbs Dressing. Arrange Cheese over Bread, cover with remaining Bread and 3 Tbs Dressing; press down lightly.

Set aside while you prepare Cream Cheese "Frosting."

3. In large bowl, mix Cream Cheese and remaining 3 Tbs Dressing. Fit pastry bag or 1-gallon-size plastic food-storage bag (with corner cut off) with star tip. Transfer 3/4 cup mixture to bag. Remove metal rim from spring form pan. Use an offset spatula (see note) or butter knife to frost the side and top of "cake" with remaining Cream Cheese. Transfer cake to
serving platter. Pipe pastry stars around top of cake and along bottom edge.

4. Transfer Ketchup to quartzite plastic bag. Snip off tiny corner and write "April Fool" on top of cake.

Note: Offset spatulas are bent at the handle joint to form an angle. They come in several sizes and are useful tools for icing cakes. Theyre available in houseware stores or kitchenware sections of department stores.
