Customer Reviews

They're quite gross.

I'm not sure what the other person was referring to there are over 30 recipes in this book and of course as the title says they are quite gross. The recipes do call for packaged cake mix and jell-o packages as well as packaged candies. The Kitty Litter Cake for instance uses a german chocolate cake and white cake mix baked as directed. You then crumble cakes into a real kitty litter pan (for effect) and then you serve it with a pooper scooper. Cover with pudding and crushed oreo cookies tinted green. The tootsie rolls you melt and scatter throughout to look like "poop". The gross out cupcakes are really a gross out and look like bugs, worms, or aliens. Hopefully my children know not to then go out and eat real bugs and worms. I'm not sure the other review was fair when she said to worry about whether your child will then go out and eat the real kitty litter. OMG. There are a few other party ideas at the end of the book to add to the grossness of these cakes. Overall a descent cookbook for the price.

Disgusting- just what I wanted!

Ohhhh, I ADORE Halloween! For me, Halloween is a tie with Chirstmas! So, this book was a perfect fit for me. My children will never be the same. Neither will their classmates, Bwahahaaaaaa!!!

Perfectly Gross!!!

Just as the title suggests this book is really gross - and so are the recipes - which makes your whole baking experience perfectly gross!!! BUT as gross as these desserts may look - they actually taste just yummy - that is once you get over the fact that you are eating something called Doggy Doo Doo Drops, Blood Clot Cake or Toenail Torte with Toe Jam Filling!!! I think I'll stop there - I'm sure you've got the idea!!! You've got to check this book out - even your kids will be grossed out!!! Now if that isn't a good sign - I don't know what is!?!
