Use a plastic trowel for serving |
Wrap the flowers in foil or plastic |
1/2 stick butter (I omit)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
3 1/2 cups milk
2 small boxes vanilla instant pudding (I use sugar-free)
12 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crush cookies in a food processor (or put in a bag and use a rolling pin.)
Cream together the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Mix together milk and puddings.
Add whipped topping to cream and pudding mixture.
Layer 1/3 of cookies, 1/3 pudding, etc. Top should be cookies (dirt).
Use packets of seeds for favors |

CUTE, Kitty!
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with the most clever ideas!
Happy soon to be Earth Day!
Have a great week, too, my friend!
Cute idea and a fun centerpiece:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post, Kitty! Can you believe I have never had Dirt Cake! I have meant to make it any number of times and never did. Wonderful idea to display it the way you did too. We have the same watering can! Thanks for sharing with us and enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Wonderful Good Earth idea, Kitty. Great centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my kind of tea party. I've had dirt cake before that had gummy worms on top. Kids would love dirt cake.

I've seen these before, but yours looks way easier to do with the way you wrapped the artificial flowers. The one I saw before had a vial of water you inserted to put a cut stem. It seemed way too hard to do, but I would love to make one your way. Thanks for sharing this adorable idea at my party!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see recipes from our past. This is such a cute idea and we all love dirt cake...........andi the wednesday baker
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! It would make an adorable cake for a bridal shower!
ReplyDeleteOh, I haven't thought about a dirt cake in quite a long time! Yours is so pretty and love how you added the flower.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like my little fashion plates.
be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
this is a great idea..and yummy in the tummy as well. Love the flowers on top for sure, Kitty. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWe think so much alike, Kitty! I made the Dirt Cake version of cupcakes last week, with Morning Glory seed packets & this week did the gardening gloves! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour outdoor dining area looks so welcoming...wish I could sit & share a lemonade with you there.
Hugs,
Rett
Tea in the garden is my favorite place off all!! So relaxing and I think your teapot/watering can is adorable!! I am there, in mind and heart!!

Hi Kitty, gee, great minds think alike! I also made "dirt dessert", slightly different recipe. I love it. Visiting from Cuisine Kathleen. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute theme! Thank You for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening,

This is a great idea Kitty. Love the seed packets for favors.

What a lovely way to celebrate the good earth! Now that's some dirt I'd love to dig around in! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteKitty~ I haven't had a serving of dirt cake in a while! Cute, cute, cute~ love your watering can/teapot!
ReplyDeleteKitty, your dirt cake brings back fond memories! I made it quite often for birthday parties when our sons were younger. I think it's time I made it for the adults!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I don't think I ever thought about adding a flower, but what a good idea1
ReplyDeleteWell, butter my head and call me a biscuit! This is just about one of the CUTEST ideas I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!! What a great idea! My husband would be tickled pink if I was to make this for him and serve it this way. My extended family would be overjoyed!!! Just imagine the looks on their faces when the centerpieces suddenly became dessert! A+ for creativity!!!!!!!! I am going to copy and past the recipe into my computer recipe thingy right now and then flag your post for future reference. This is really cool!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute details for an Earth Day Party. I made dirt cake with my students every year to celebrate Earth Day. They loved the gummy worms mixed in. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute with your whole theme! Perfect details like the seed packets!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds delicious with the cream cheese added! The little seed packets are such a nice touch on the table--I think I will copy this! Linda
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make a dirt cake. Maybe this is summer it will happen - and I'll be using cream cheese!
ReplyDeleteLike the garden gloves and seed packets. I'll have to incorporate those into my next garden themed table.
What a cute idea to do dirt cakes for Earth Day! Love the seed packets and garden gloves - great touch!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea! Your table looks cute and I love the flowers in the pot!
ReplyDeleteKitty, what a precious party for Earth Day, great idea's and your Dirt Cake is awesome! Hope you have a fabulous week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
