Add the to the mixing bowl, and mix on low speed until blended. Scrape down the bowl, and mix on high until smooth and creamy. Add the Lime Green Food Coloring Gel a few drops at a time (start with 3) until you get the bright green color you desire. Mix well. Grease and flour an 8 X 8 dish, or a 9 inch Cake Pan, and pour Cake Batter into the pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove Cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When Cake is completely cool, crumble the cake into the bottom of the individual dishes, filling the bottom. Swirl on the Vanilla Frosting (See photo) and sprinkle with the Chocolate Sprinkles. Add another layer of the Cake, then swirl on the Chocolate Frosting, sprinkle on more Chocolate Sprinkles, and then add a generous layer of Crumbled Oreo Cookies. Place two (2) of the Zombie Finger Suckers down in the top of the Cakes, leaving the top part sticking up - see photo. Serve, and Enjoy!
Notes
The Frosting is already prepared for you to just open and use. It comes in a pastry bag, and already has the tip in the bag, so all you do is open it and use the Frosting/Icing. The Chocolate comes in Chocolate and Chocolate Fudge, either one is fine to use. I used Pillsbury, but you can use another Brand if you prefer. The Neon Lime Green Food Coloring Gel is Wal-Mart Brand, but any Brand you prefer may be used.
