I posted this in the recipe section, but nobody answered (I don't think as many people check that area regularly) anyway. I saw on food network where a lady uses up her cake tops by turning them into crumbs and adding them to cake batter. She said it started with an old recipe she had that called for cookie crumbs, so she takes left over cake that has been carved off her decorated cakes, crumbles them up and toastes them in the oven and then uses that instead of cookie crumbs in the recipe. I think this sound really awesome. Does anyone know of a recipe that uses cookie crumbs in the batter????

You could bake it to dry it out more and then crumble it, add butter and use it as a pie or cheesecake crust. Or if it's chocolate, crumble it up to make dirt for those pudding and dirt kids cups. I normally just put some frosting on it and let my family eat that so they don't touch my big cake! HTH

I think it's Toba Garrett that has a recipe in one of her books that mixes cake scraps with BC. She calls it cake spackle and uses it to patch holes in the cake. It would make great "sand" for a beach cake!
