Are you enjoying the Wacky Zingoz Celebration? This treat is the perfect way to celebrate Wacky’s best pal, Zangoz! This recipe is from our archive.
What you need:
Recipe:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Icing:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp corn syrup
- 1 tbsp milk
- Food coloring
What you do:
- For the cake: Melt the butter and stir in the cocoa. Leave the mixture to cool. Beat the eggs until fluffy and add the sugar and vanilla and milk. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and beat until it’s well combined. Stir the flour and baking powder in gently until just combined, then beat the mixture until it’s smooth. Grease an 8×8 inch pan and pour the batter in. Cook at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes (until a toothpick in the center comes out clean).
- For the icing: Beat the butter, corn syrup and vanilla together. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Add enough milk to make the icing a good spreadable consistency.
- Helpful Hints: You’ll need to make a several different colors of icing for this cake – orange for the Zangoz, blue for the background and his eyes, pink for his paws and his mouth, yellow for his teeth and toenails, white for his eyes and highlights on the pears, dark yellow for the pears, brown for the tree and green for the grass. The easiest way to create this scene is to use the green and blue frosting in the background, add the brown tree and then draw the Zangoz on top. Start with an outline of the Zangoz and fill it in. Remember – icing is forgiving. You can always scrape off anything that doesn’t look right and start over. Add a decorative border to the cake to make it look totally amazing!
Use your Webkinz Trading Cards as inspiration for cake designs!
Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!
Crafty Critterz was my favorite part of the old website. I’m so relieved to find out it’s still here!
Hey–now you can have your card and eat it, too…XD
But what if it’s a rare card and you’re really hungry? XD
LOL
How does nobody understand that in the description leading to the article, they were encouraging us to use the trading card pictures as the inspiration for decorating cakes? It really wasn’t hard to figure out, leading in the slightest bit.
That was supposed to say or misleading not just leading.
I think everyone is just kidding around GoGanz24. :D
Everyone’s kidding! XD
If they’re all kidding, why do most of them look serious?
Hi, GoGanz24! We’re all just joking about it XD It’s just that the subtitle shown said “turn your trading cards into tasty cakes”, and now all of us are just making jokes about what would happen if this recipe actually was about turning real trading cards into a cake. We never misunderstood it; we know this cake is not made of trading cards… and that it’s really just a trading card-inspired dessert. We’re all just goofing around!
Recipe:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
Icing:
1/3 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
6 Trading cards
Haha, that’s funny, vbeach100!! Now that’s really a trading card cake XD
Hahaha!!!! XD We’re all really having fun with the way they worded this article, aren’t we?? :D
I thought that you put litteral trading cards in the cake, so I clicked on this XD YES!
Hmm… you know.. I’m not sure if those trading cards would be very tasty. XD
This looks very good!:)
Come on Webkinz this title is very misleading. XD
ikr I thought it would be made out of trading cards or something
I agree 100%
Ooh, this cake looks pretty neat! :D If I were into baking, I might do this XD
“Turn your trading cards into tasty cakes!” ~~~ “..I’m sorry, I fail to see the resemblance of how trading cards are tasty?” XD
“In my defense, Webkinz, I’ve never actually…. eaten… anything made of trading cards.. before” XD (my spin on a Vision quote)
Oh my goodness, Taffy, best quote I’ve heard all day. *says to myself* “You couldn’t have done that earlier?” ;D
Ooh, yes, a Vision and a Bucky quote!! This is amazing, guys! :D If we eat cakes made of trading cards, “There will be consequences.” ;)
Haha, well thank you! XD (and oh my goshhh an awesome quoteee ahhh) “I could do this all day….”
And ilovemoonie, well thanks! Ahhh, nice quote, too! XD
hahaha I thought they would use trading cards as cake toppers or something… XD :D Anyway, great quote, the Vision is awesome! I love Marvel.
Hahah, well hey, zangoz card toppers would’ve certainly been interesting XD Well thank you! Ah, really? That’s awesome!! :D I really like Marvel as well! I’m a big fan of it, haha XD
Mm, the delicious flavor of Trading Cards made out of trees. I can’t even wait to eat it any more… it sounds… uh, interesting? XD
Haha!!
Oh my gosh yummmm!! I might have to make this. ;) I actually sent in a webkinz ball cap, and now I might send a headband!
Well, instructions to them! XD Sorry!
This looks really cool! (And delicious!) I should try this sometime XD
Oh, and before I clicked on this article, there was some text underneath the title that said “Turn your trading cards into tasty cakes” and I was like “what? Why would anyone want to eat their trading cards?” XD
I was thinking the same exact thing! I was like, “Who would ever eat their trading cards? That’s not healthy to consume something like that…” X’D
Haha, I was thinking that too, TaffyKitty and LuckyTheBeagle! I was confused as to what trading cards had to do with it. “Are we supposed to make cakes out of trading cards? Who came up with that idea?” XD
XD I didn’t read that so I didn’t notice. That hilarious!
Hahah, I know, right? At first I was like, “What? Why would someone eat a cake made of our trading cards? I don’t think that has any nutritional value… ” XD
well, they are cardboard of some sort so there’s gotta be a good bit of fibre in there. that’s good for you ;)
Hahah, I guess that’s true! ;)
LOL!
I’m glad I decided to go ahead and read this article, otherwise I would’ve been so confused XD
